Hi, @pnowojski I agree with you now: change all CHAR to VARCHAR in Flink.

And yes, this is a serious problem since `case when`, `concat`, etc are very 
commonly used in SQL. Considering that changing CHAR to VARCHAR brakes backward

Since this is a big change. It would be great to have your opinions here.
