Jason Dere commented on HIVE-4844: ---------------------------------- Hi Xuefu, yes this patch has gotten pretty large. I think it's at a point where we can stop the work on this Jira (after I check in some additional tests I have been working on), and additional work can be added as sub tasks, such as support for additional SerDe's. I don't think the current progress can be easily split into smaller patches - perhaps the JDBC changes might be able to pulled out, but everything else needs to go in at the same time to work coherently. > Add char/varchar data types > --------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4844 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4844 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Types > Reporter: Jason Dere > Assignee: Jason Dere > Attachments: HIVE-4844.1.patch.hack, HIVE-4844.2.patch, > HIVE-4844.3.patch, HIVE-4844.4.patch, HIVE-4844.5.patch, HIVE-4844.6.patch, > HIVE-4844.7.patch, screenshot.png > > > Add new char/varchar data types which have support for more SQL-compliant > behavior, such as SQL string comparison semantics, max length, etc. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
