Jacques Nadeau resolved DRILL-734. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Invalid Drill only supports SQL types, not Java types. As such, all external sources need to map to these internal types. > Describe command shows incorrect types for Hive backed tables > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DRILL-734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-734 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Rahul Challapalli > Priority: Minor > > When a hive table contains a string datatype, drill's describe command shows > it as varchar.
