Nick Dimiduk updated HBASE-8089:
--------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE-8089-types.txt
Updated spec document with definitions for VARCHAR and CHAR. After discussion
and deliberation, I decided to roughly follow Orderly's approach. The reasoning
being: the additional computation imposed by incrementing values and (slight)
storage overhead of explicit termination is worth the cost. That is, this
approach places no limitation on where the user can use a \{VAR,\}CHAR type.

> 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.
