----------------------------------
Summary: Automatically Convert VARCHAR to STRING
Key: HIVE-19229
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19229
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Database/Schema, HiveServer2
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
Using {{STRING}} datatypes is much faster than {{VARCHAR}}. Add a
configuration to HiveServer2 (HS2) that automatically converts {{VARCHAR}} DDL
table definitions to {{STRING}}. In this way, if a BI tool is creating
{{VARCHAR}} column in tables, and the behavior cannot be changed, HS2 will
change them automatically.
