Major Description
SparkSql crashes on selecting tables using custom serde.
Example:
----------------
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE table_name PARTITIONED BY ( a int) ROW FORMAT 'SERDE "org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.thrift.ThriftDeserializer" with serdeproperties("serialization.format"="org.apache.thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol","serialization.class"="ser_class") STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE;
The following exception is seen on running a query like 'select * from table_name limit 1':

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
After fixing this issue, when some columns in the table were referred in the query, sparksql could not resolve those references.
