Ashutosh Chauhan updated HIVE-4519:
-----------------------------------

             Assignee: Robert Roland
    Affects Version/s:     (was: 0.10.0)
               Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

We should also update the corresponding java.sql.Types mapping in 
service/src/java/org/apache/hive/service/cli/Type.java. I think following makes 
sense:
* ARRAY => java.sql.Types.ARRAY
* MAP => java.sql.Types.JAVA_OBJECT
* STRUCT => java.sql.Types.STRUCT
* UNION => java.sql.Types.OTHER
* USER_DEFINED_TYPES => java.sql.Types.OTHER
                
> JDBC getColumnTypeName() should respond with the Hive-specifc type name for 
> ARRAY, STRUCT and MAP

> Per the Javadocs for ResultSetMetaData#getColumnTypeName():
> "type name used by the database. If the column type is a user-defined type, 
> then a fully-qualified type name is returned."
> Hive's type for array, struct and map is not String. It is array, struct or 
> map, using a JSON string serialization. Returning the Hive type here will 
> allow you to programmatically determine if you should parse the value in the 
> ResultSet as JSON.
> ResultSetMetaData#getColumnType() should potentially return OTHER to indicate 
> the column is a database-specific return type.
> This would replace the fix provided HIVE-1378.
