James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-1673:
---------------------------------------
[~neverendingqs] - would it be possible for you to elaborate on your use
case/need for this feature? We're curious on why you'd want your data column to
have a different typed tenant ID column when the system tables would continue
to store the tenant ID as a string. See comments on the pull requests for
questions: https://github.com/apache/phoenix/pull/104#issuecomment-128866480
> Allow tenant ID to be of any integral data type

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1673
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.3.0
> Reporter: Mark Tse
> Labels: Newbie, multi-tenant
> Fix For: 4.4.1
>
>
> When creating multi-tenant tables and views, the column that identifies the
> tenant (first primary key column) must be of type 'VARCHAR' or 'CHAR'.
> It should be possible to relax this restriction to use any integral data
> type. The tenant ID from the connection property can be converted based on
> the data type of the first primary key column.
