Jianfeng Jia commented on ASTERIXDB-1102:
-----------------------------------------
Per our discussion this morning, we decided to choose the variable length
encoding for the String type without adding new type.
Then we need to revisit the existing fixed length encoding types to replace
them with the variable length encoding format if reasonable to avoid similar
problem happening again in future.
> 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.
