Ruslan Dautkhanov commented on HIVE-4921:
-----------------------------------------
We have some wide tables for modeling, and comments describe levels of some
categorical features.
Very convenient to use in Hue and other tools like that .
256 is too shortÂ
> Upgrade COMMENT column size in table COLUMNS_V2 and TYPE_FIELDS from 256 to
> 4000

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0
> Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
> Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
> Priority: Major
>
> There are three tables in Hive metastore schema having COMMENT COLUMN:
> PARTITIION_KEYS, COLUMNS_V2, and TYPE_FIELDS, and their sizes are different.
> PARTITIION_KEYS.COMMENT has a size of 4000. To be consistent, and to make it
> more reasonable, we need to promote the column in other two tables from the
> current size (256) to 4000.
