> Cloning HIVE-5550 because HIVE-5550 fixed org.apache.hcatalog.*, and not org.apache.hive.hcatalog.* . And that other package needs this change too. And with 0.14 pruning of org.apache.hcatalog.*, we miss this patch altogether.
> ====
> A table was created using HCatalog API with out specifying the file format, it defaults to:
> {code}
> fileFormat=TextFile, inputformat=org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat, outputformat=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.IgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat
> {code}
> But, when hive fetches the table from the metastore, it strangely replaces the output format with org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat
> and the comparison between source and target table fails.
> The code in org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ImportSemanticAnalyzer#checkTable does a string comparison of classes and fails.
> {code}
>       // check IF/OF/Serde
>       String existingifc = table.getInputFormatClass().getName();
>       String importedifc = tableDesc.getInputFormat();
>       String existingofc = table.getOutputFormatClass().getName();
>       String importedofc = tableDesc.getOutputFormat();
>       if ((!existingifc.equals(importedifc))
>           || (!existingofc.equals(importedofc))) {
>         throw new SemanticException(
>             ErrorMsg.INCOMPATIBLE_SCHEMA
>                 .getMsg(" Table inputformat/outputformats do not match"));
>       }
> {code}
> This only affects tables with text and sequence file formats but not rc or orc.
