    Description

      HIVE-3443 added support to change the serdeParams from 'metatool updateLocation' command.

      However, in avro it is possible to specify the schema via the tableParams:

      CREATE  TABLE `testavro`(
        `test` string COMMENT 'from deserializer')
      ROW FORMAT SERDE 
        'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' 
      STORED AS INPUTFORMAT 
        'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat' 
      OUTPUTFORMAT 
        'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat'
      TBLPROPERTIES (
        'avro.schema.url'='hdfs://namenode:8020/tmp/test.avsc', 
        'kite.compression.type'='snappy', 
        'transient_lastDdlTime'='1427996456')
      

      Hence for those tables the 'metatool updateLocation' will not help.

      This is necessary in case like upgrade the namenode to HA where the absolute paths have changed.
