title: create a Parquet backed Hive table by using a schema file
body: <p>Cloudera <a href="http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/core/v5-3-x/topics/cdh_ig_hive.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a>, shows a simple way to "<em>create a Avro backed Hive table by using an Avro schema file</em>." This works great. I would like to do the same thing for a Parquet backed Hive table, but the relevant <a href="http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/core/v5-3-x/topics/cdh_ig_parquet.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> in this case lists out every column type rather than reading from a schema. Is it possible to read the Parquet columns from a schema, in the same way as Avro data?</p>
