                 Key: HIVE-18504
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18504
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Hive
            Reporter: Jimson K James
            Assignee: Naveen Gangam
             Fix For: 2.3.0, 3.0.0


HIve 2.1.0 is throwing InvalidObjectException(message:Invalid column type name 
is too long

 If you go through MetaStoreUtils.java you can see MAX_MS_TYPENAME_LENGTH is 
hard coded to 2000, but this can be set to higher value in mysql.Table create 
doesn't happen , for tables with higher type length. Different users can change 
this variable based on different use cases/metastore if this can be a config 
variable.

  public static final int MAX_MS_TYPENAME_LENGTH = 2000;

  public static final String TYPE_FROM_DESERIALIZER = "<derived from 
deserializer>";
  /**
   * validate column type
   *
   * if it is predefined, yes. otherwise no
   * @param name
   * @return
   */
  static public String validateColumnType(String type) {
    if (type.equals(TYPE_FROM_DESERIALIZER)) return null;
    if (type.length() > MAX_MS_TYPENAME_LENGTH) {
      return "type name is too long: " + type;
    }
