["Lefty Leverenz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6806:
--------------------------------------

Shouldn't AVRO be added as a possible value for the *hive.default.fileformat* parameter in HiveConf.java?

> Avro is well established and widely used within Hive, however creating Avro-backed tables requires the messy listing of the SerDe, InputFormat and OutputFormat classes.
> Similarly to HIVE-5783 for Parquet, Hive would be easier to use if it had native Avro support.
