Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-777:
---------------------------------
Yes, I think we should support both.
"Create type" will involve some metastore changes and more discussions. We
won't be able to finish it in a short time.
This change is much smaller, and the syntax is consistent with the current
syntax of "array<type>" and "map<type,type>".
Some users are already asking for it. I think we can get this one in first.
I will open a JIRA for "create type".
