Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-4044:
----------------------------------------
I didn't know this, but apparently there exists a datalink type in sql standard
which very much look and feel like url.
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/DATALINK So, if standard compliance is a goal,
we may need to add this eventually. Though at that point its better to call it
datalink instead of url.

> 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).
