Description

After HCATALOG-261, we can create the table in hcat even it contains feature which is not supported by Pig/Mapreduce, such as cluster/sort, or auto-maintained index. If the data is added by Hive, Pig/Mapreduce can read it without problem. But if Pig/Mapreduce store data, they cannot store data comply with these feature specifition. So we need to disable them in Pig/Mapreduce.
