Shardul Mahadik updated ORC-688:
--------------------------------
Description:
E.g. For the evolution File type {{struct<x:char(10)>}} Reader type
{{struct<x:string>}}
we currently get the following error
{code}
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No conversion of type STRING to self needed

org.apache.orc.impl.ConvertTreeReaderFactory.createStringConvertTreeReader(ConvertTreeReaderFactory.java:1954)

{code}
Should we allow such an evolution?
