Jianfeng Jia commented on ASTERIXDB-1102:
-----------------------------------------
Good point, it doesn't make sense to add some extra tag to string. If we don't
care about adding two more bytes for each string, then I think we just
customize the String's serializer that store 2more bytes for length will be
good enough?
> 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.
