Gopal V updated HIVE-19229: --------------------------- Labels: incompatibleChange (was: ) > Automatically Convert VARCHAR to STRING > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-19229 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19229 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Database/Schema, HiveServer2 > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: BELUGA BEHR > Priority: Major > Labels: incompatibleChange > > Using {{STRING}} datatypes is much faster than {{VARCHAR}}. Add a > configuration to HiveServer2 (HS2) that automatically converts {{VARCHAR}} > DDL table definitions to {{STRING}}. In this way, if a BI tool is creating > {{VARCHAR}} column in tables, and the behavior cannot be changed, HS2 will > change them automatically. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
