Hmm, if we didn't need or test them so far, maybe we should really
disable/remove them?
Seems to be "near-death code" :)
We can always add them both features (non-record types and replicated types)
back with a non-Critical priority ...

E.g., here's another document-allowed CREATE TYPE example that doesn't actually
work (though no NPE :-)) if you try replacing the employment history for users
with the renamed type:
CREATE TYPE EmploymentHistory AS [ EmploymentType ];
CREATE TYPE GleambookUserType AS {
id: int,
alias: string,
name: string,
userSince: datetime,
friendIds: {{ int }},
employment: [ EmploymentType ]
};
If you change the above field to " employment: EmploymentHistory ... " you
get:
org.apache.asterix.om.types.AOrderedListType cannot be cast to
org.apache.asterix.om.types.ARecordType [ClassCastException]
My proposal would be to only allow CREATE TYPE to be used to create a new
record type for now, which is all we ever use it for. I can't even remember
why all that other stuff was/is there - but - sure enough, it dates back to the
reference manual for UC AsterixDB 2013... :-)
