> On default hive uses LazySimpleSerDe for output.
> When I now enable compression and "select count(*) from avrotable" the output is a file with the .avro extension but this then will display null values since the file is in reality not an avro file but a file created by LazySimpleSerDe using compression so should be a .snappy file.
> This causes any job (exception select * from avrotable is that not truly a job) to show null values.
> If you use any serde other then avro you can temporarily fix this by setting "set hive.output.file.extension=.snappy" and it will correctly work again but this won't work on avro since it overwrites the hive.output.file.extension during initializing.
> When you dump the query result into a table with "create table bla as" you can rename the .avro file into .snappy and the "select from bla" will also magiacally work again.
> Input and Ouput serdes don't always match so when I use avro as an input format it should not set the hive.output.file.extension.
> Onces it's set all queries will use it and fail making the connection useless to reuse.
