Hive Storage Engine support and limitations

Hi,

1. Just verifying - does the Hive Storage Engine support *any* table in
Hive? For example, if I have a table which uses a custom InputFormat and
SerDe I wrote, will Apache Drill be able to select from it?
The wiki page<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DRILL/Hive+Storage+Engine>does
note any limitation in this regard so I want to make sure.

Drill integrates with Hive Serdes and invokes those libraries when queries
submitted on those tables, so custom input formats should work as well.
