Nick Dimiduk updated HBASE-8089:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-8089-types.txt

Updated spec document. Supported types changed a little, and a spec is outlined 
for the basics.

Biggest open questions include:
 - should null values be required for each type or is it enough to support 
reading a null marker via the STRUCT/UNION implementation?
 - how to handle String and byte[] types. Orderly goes to great pains to encode 
values, Phoenix restricts the context in which they can be used.

> This proposal outlines an improvement to HBase that provides for a set of 
> types, above and beyond the existing "byte-bucket" strategy. This is intended 
> to reduce user-level duplication of effort, provide better support for 
> 3rd-party integration, and provide an overall improved experience for 
> developers using HBase.
