These formats parse the structured or unstructured data bytes stored in HDFS in accordance with the schema definition of Hive tables.

You can use different types of SerDes for reading or writing the data in a particular format.
This is the default SerDes format of Hive. When a user creates a table in Hive without any explicit SerDes definition, LazySimpleSerDe gets associated with the table. LazySimpleSerDe takes line feed (\n) as the record separator and tab ('\t') as the attribute (column) delimiter. It parse the data bytes it receives from HDFS and...
