            Description

            Storing the Avro schema in HDFS for a Hive-based dataset may solve a couple problems. Specifically:

            • The original version of the schema can be preserved to ensure future changes are compatible with it., as discussed at [1]
            • It avoids limitations around the size of the schema Hive supports (as discussed at [2]). (This is an issue we run into frequently.)
