Jianfeng Jia commented on ASTERIXDB-1102:
-----------------------------------------
I'd like to ask how did we decide the type for the open data right now? It
could be the similar problem for integer, e.g. an Int16 1, could also be Int32
1, or Int64 1. Can we apply the same mechanism to deal with String VS Text for
open types?
> Add a TEXT-like data type to enable storing the string longer than 64K

> The current "String" type can't handle the string longer than 64K. The first
> reason is that we are using java DataOutputStream to serialize it. It stores
> the length using two bytes. However, it should serve the basic requirement
> for "string" type.
> We need a special TEXT-like datatype to deal with long strings. And probably
> add some search-related functionalities.
