             Summary: Add config to set a default storage handler class
                 Key: HIVE-24541
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24541
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Marton Bod
            Assignee: Marton Bod


Add a config param "hive.default.storage.handler.class" so we can set a default storage handler class that can be used for all create table statements. By default it would be an empty string, taking no effect.

This would allow existing user queries to be reused for a new table format for example, such as Iceberg. 

For example, after setting in the config: hive.default.storage.handler.class= org.apache.iceberg.mr.hive.HiveIcebergStorageHandler

The query: CREATE TABLE abc (a int, b string) LOCATION ...

would be equivalent to: CREATE TABLE abc (a int, b string) STORED BY 'org.apache.iceberg.mr.hive.HiveIcebergStorageHandler' LOCATION ...
