Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-4044:
-------------------------------------
We could actually implement this as a different encoding of string columns that
recognizes string columns and breaks them down into individual parts. Another
approach would be to use a trie encoding for the dictionary. That would have a
lot of the same value and would likely be a general win.

> Having a separate type for URLs would enable improvements in storage
> efficiency based on breaking up a URL into its components. The new type will
> be named "URL" and made a non-reserved keyword (see HIVE-701).
