Hey all, as part of my exploration of Caravel, I realized knowing the types of columns can be valuable... I can say create a view of a directory of parquet allowing the "show tables" to work well, however, the type for every column is "ANY" which may work (need to tweak some things) but I am guessing may make certain down stream things in Caravel more difficult.
So, just thinking aloud here, would it be possible to "cast" in Views to allow the view definition to pass along type information? Even if it means a more verbose view definition, it would be done once, and then down stream tools like Caravel would know the types... Thoughts? John
