Victoria Markman created DRILL-2621:
---------------------------------------
Summary: When view is created on top of parquet file, underlying
data types should be automatically converted to SQL type
Key: DRILL-2621
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2621
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Victoria Markman
Since parquet types are known to us, we need to make sure to expose these types
without making user explicitly cast each column.
"create view v1 as select c_integer from j1; " produces view with column of ANY
data type.
{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> describe v1;
+-------------+------------+-------------+
| COLUMN_NAME | DATA_TYPE | IS_NULLABLE |
+-------------+------------+-------------+
| c_integer | ANY | YES |
+-------------+------------+-------------+
1 row selected (0.091 seconds)
{code}
I think we need to expend "CREATE VIEW" document for GA explaining this fact.
