Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-15249:
--------------------------------------
[~patduin] Thank you for the pointer. I thought my testcase that created a
column of a large struct type succeeded. I will have to re-run the scenario. I
have had to run schema tests, upgrade scenarios against 4 different databases
installations that I may have missed this failure.
[[email protected]] To me, it makes sense to remove this check and just
have the JDO layer (or database layer in case of DirectSQL) enforce it. I will
look into the history as to why this was put in place in the first place.
Thanks for the suggestion.
