Description

haivvreo has been merged into Hive as AvroSerDe.
It has been so popular that many hive users/customers are using it now.

There are a number of hive users/customers using haivvreo before its merge, their old application/script is not working due to some of the property changes(eg. schema.url -> avro.schema.url, schema.literal -> avro.schema.literal).

It could be a good idea that, we provide backward compatibility for AvroSerDe properties, say, if "avro.schema.url" is not provided, take "schema.url", so that hive users/customers haivvreo application/script could be working smoothly.
