Dynamically create Hive external table with Avro schema on Parquet Data

Question

I\'m trying to dynamically (without listing column names and types in Hive DDL) create a Hive external table on parquet data files. I have the Avro schema of underlying parq

Answer 1

Below query works:

CREATE TABLE avro_test ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' STORED AS AVRO TBLPROPERTIES ('avro.schema.url'='myHost/myAvroSchema.avsc'); 

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE parquet_test LIKE avro_test STORED AS PARQUET LOCATION 'hdfs://myParquetFilesPath';
