Bug: Don't try to store a V1 table which contains ANSI intervals in Hive compatible format
Status: Resolved | Priority: Major | Resolution: Fixed
Created: 11/Nov/21 06:36
Affects Version/s: 3.2.0

If, a table being created contains a column of ANSI interval types and the underlying file format has a corresponding Hive SerDe (e.g. Parquet),
`HiveExternalcatalog` tries to store the table in Hive compatible format.
But, as ANSI interval types in Spark and interval type in Hive are not compatible (Hive only supports interval_year_month and interval_day_time), the following warning with stack trace will be logged.

{code}
spark-sql> CREATE TABLE tbl1(a INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH) USING Parquet;

21/11/11 14:39:29 WARN HiveExternalCatalog: Could not persist `default`.`tbl1` in a Hive compatible way. Persisting it into Hive metastore in Spark SQL specific format.

In such case, `HiveExternalCatalog` fallbacks to store the table in Spark specific format  but the stack trace is surprising and confusable.
