Hive converts "bytes"-type fields to an array<tinyint> column, which we can't even load the metadata for. However, if a bytes field appears in a file schema but not the table schema, this change allows us to read (but not materialize) the field. Otherwise we can't read the file at all. This change also adds a "bytes"-type field to one of the files in functional_avro_snap.schema_resolution_test.

This folder contains the files necessary to test Impala support for Avro schema resolution (along with the TestAvroSchemaResolution query test). create_table.sql creates a functional_avro_snap.schema_resolution_test table and loads records1.avro and records2.avro. The .avro files were created via the following commands: java -jar ~/avro-tools-1.7.4.jar fromjson --schema-file file_schema1.avsc --codec snappy records1.json > records1.avro java -jar ~/avro-tools-1.7.4.jar fromjson --schema-file file_schema2.avsc --codec snappy records2.json > records2.avro create_table.sql, file_schema1.avsc and file_schema2.avsc contain the relevant schema definitions.
