The fix for this is to try and create uber schema using all the schema versions evolved so far for the concerned event and use this uber schema as the target schema. One of the good approaches can be fetching schema from hive metastore and merging it with the current schema.

Steps: (build with hive-2.1.0)
1. git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-hudi.git
2. rm hudi-hadoop-mr/src/main/java/org/apache/hudi/hadoop/hive/HoodieCombineHiveInputFormat.java
3. mvn clean package -DskipTests -DskipITs -Dhive.version=2.1.0

3.5 Caused by : java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Table rename is not supported

This issue could occur when syncing to hive. Possible reason is that, hive does not play well if your table name has upper and lower case letter. Try to have all lower case letters for your table name and it should likely get fixed. Related issue: https://github.com/apache/hudi/issues/2409
