Description

The issue only happens on avro table,

CREATE TABLE t2_avro (
columnNumber1 int,
columnNumber2 string )
PARTITIONED BY (p1 string)
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.literal'='{
"namespace": "testing.hive.avro.serde",
"name": "test",
"type": "record",
"fields": [
{ "name":"columnNumber1", "type":"int" },
{ "name":"columnNumber2", "type":"string" }
]}');

I don't have latest hive so I am not sure if this is already fixed in trunk.
