data types not supported for dim_attributes type)
> Improve specification for complex data types
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LENS-443
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LENS-443
> Project: Apache Lens
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: server
> Reporter: Angad Singh
>
> Lens supports all hive data types.
> That includes ARRAY<STRING,LONG,etc> or MAP, etc.
> Unfortunately these types cannot be specified in XML. XML doesn't allow < and
> > characters in string values
> So instead of this:
> {noformat}
> <dim_attribute name="interests" type="ARRAY<STRING>" />
> {noformat}
> one has to write it as this:
> {noformat}
> <dim_attribute name="interests" type="ARRAY<STRING>" />
> {noformat}
> This is counter intuitive and an alternative way should be figured out
