Madhan Neethiraj commented on ATLAS-1474:
-----------------------------------------
[~ssainath] - hive_column.type is modeled as 'string' in Atlas Hive model. This
doesn't allow for validation of values.
- one option is to change the attribute to an enum type. However that would
require changes to Hive hook and potential backward compatibility issues.
- another option is to enhance the model to specify list-of-values for
attributes, which UI can use to populate a dropdown list. This will have to be
taken in a future release.
> Create Entity via UI : Type of hive_column is text box requiring string ,
> which ideally should be a drop down.

> Mandatory field "Type" of hive_column is a text box currently which allows
> users to enter any invalid data and creates hive_column instance. The Type
> should be made as a drop down list box.
