Users can explicitly say CREATE TABLE ... STORED AS TEXTFILE|SEQUENCEFILE|RCFILE|ORC|AVRO|INPUTFORMAT...OUTPUTFORMAT... to override. (RCFILE was added in Hive 0.6.0, ORC in 0.11.0, and AVRO in 0.14.0.) See Row Format, Storage Format, and SerDe for details.
hive.default.fileformat.managed
- Default Value:
none - Added In: Hive 1.2.0 with HIVE-9915
Default file format for CREATE TABLE statement applied to managed tables only. External tables will be created with format specified by hive.default.fileformat. Leaving this null will result in using hive.default.fileformat for all native tables. For non-native tables the file format is determined by the storage handler, as shown below (see the StorageHandler section for more information on managed/external and native/non-native terminology).
| Native | Non-Native | |
|---|---|---|
| Managed | hive.default.fileformat.managed (or fall back to the other) | Not covered by default file-formats |
| External | hive.default.fileformat | Not covered by default file-formats |
hive.fileformat.check
- Default Value:
true - Added In: Hive 0.5.0
