---------------------------
Labels: incompatibleChange (was: )
> Automatically Convert VARCHAR to STRING
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-19229
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19229
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Database/Schema, HiveServer2
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
> Priority: Major
> Labels: incompatibleChange
>
> Using {{STRING}} datatypes is much faster than {{VARCHAR}}. Add a
> configuration to HiveServer2 (HS2) that automatically converts {{VARCHAR}}
> DDL table definitions to {{STRING}}. In this way, if a BI tool is creating
> {{VARCHAR}} column in tables, and the behavior cannot be changed, HS2 will
> change them automatically.
