title: What is the difference between 'InputFormat, OutputFormat' & 'Stored as' in Hive?
body: <p>Im new to Bigdata and currently learning Hive. I understood the concept of InputFormat &amp; OutputFormat in Hive as part of SerDe. I also understood that 'Stored as' is used to store a file in a particular format just like InputFormat.
  But I don't understand what is the significant difference between using the 'InputFormat, OutputFormat' &amp; 'Stored as'.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
