Just before the "primitive_type" section CREATE TABLE also lists union_type with this cryptic message: bq. union_type (Note: Only available starting with Hive 0.0) - needs documentation so I'll link to [Union Types|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Types#LanguageManualTypes-UnionTypes] -- but which Hive version introduced them? > Hive Language Manual missing VARCHAR in Create Table > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5819 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5819 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Lefty Leverenz > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-CreateTable > has "primitive_type" section which is missing VARCHAR, but it's supported as > shown in > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Types#LanguageManualTypes-Varchar -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
