Hi, I'm creating a Phoenix view of an existing HBase table on v4.4.0. Command: CREATE VIEW "table_name" (pk VARBINARY PRIMARY KEY, "cf"."col" DATA_TYPE_HERE); The col column has long values that are serialized by Bytes.toBytes(long) but since some values are negative, I can't use UNSIGNED_LONG. I tried BIGINT instead since the documentation says that it maps to java.lang.Long, but that resulted in incorrect column values. The datatype documentation for UNSIGNED_LONG says "use the regular signed type instead" - which datatype is this referring to? LONG isn't supported.
I could create the view with the column values as bytearrays and write a UDF to extract long values, but I think that will add to the latency. Is there a way around this? I really appreciate your help. Sincerely,Anchal Agrawal
