Tim Armstrong commented on IMPALA-2019:
---------------------------------------
The docs also state that the character set is ASCII - i.e. a single byte
character set -
https://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_string.html. As I said,
this is the expected behaviour for now and changing the default would be a
breaking change.
