Todd Lipcon commented on KUDU-1938:
-----------------------------------
[~mjacobs] -- from the Impala integration side, do you think we need a
different type in Kudu separate than the existing STRING one to support
integration with Impala's VARCHAR type? Not sure what the concrete work that
would need to be done on our side to support this integration is.

> VARCHAR is currently not supported by Kudu. This is functionality that
> currently exists in Impala. Some client applications convert STRING to 32K
> bytes which causes performance issues so they need the VARCHAR support in
> order to integrate well with Kudu.
