Mehant Baid commented on DRILL-848:
-----------------------------------
What is the expected behavior for performing sum() on a varchar column? I tried
running sum() on varchar in postgres and I got an error indicating its not
supported. Probably shouldn't be hanging sqlline though but that is a generic
issue we need to fix.

> If you do a sum over a varchar column, sqlline will hang:
> sqlline version 1.1.6
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select sum(c_groupby) from data;
> here c_groupby is a string column. This is over a parquet file.
