Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-11985:
------------------------------------
First I have to admit that I don't have the enough knowledge to conclude if the
approach here causes a problem. As far as I know, 4000 character limit is only
a problem for Oracle, yet the patch seems rejecting any schema that is more
than 2000 long. This sounds rather harsh, and a long of times users get around
the problem by changing Oracle settings.
On a high level, I'd echo [~ashutoshc] and [~alangates]'s concerns. If we spend
time on this, I'd rather solve the problem in the generic way, regardless the
serde type and db type. The obvious inconsistency I see here is that we store
for avro the schema if it's less than 2000 while storing a constant string for
anything over that. If we determine that it's not necessary to store it for
avro, don't store it at all. Or if we can solve the length problem for all
serdes, then that's probably the the right way to go.
