Missing SerDeStorageSchemaReader class when creating Avro tables with schema file #630

@Jimvin

Description

@Jimvin

When creating a Hive external table with the Avro schema URL defined the result is a table that cannot be queried or droped:

 create table hive.test.avro_test (
    LOAD_DATE varchar,
    ID varchar,
    EMAIL varchar,
    NAME varchar
)
with (
    format = 'AVRO',
    external_location = 'hdfs://hdfs/test/table1',
    avro_schema_url = 'hdfs://hdfs/schema/table1.avsc'
);

All operations on the table produce the following error:

[SQL Error [16777216]: Query failed (#20250804_105604_00015_upgzh): org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.SerDeStorageSchemaReader class not found](url)

Once the table is created it can no longer be managed from Trino.

This was originally opened as a Trino issue (stackabletech/trino-operator#783) but the issue lies with hive metastore missing the required Java classes from Hive and Hadoop.
