Jason Dere commented on HIVE-4844:
----------------------------------
The max varchar length setting was pretty arbitrary, sure we can have it set to
a lower value. Any ideas on what value to initially set? 32,767 (small enough
to fit within a short), or maybe something even smaller like 1024, just to make
the point that we don't want enormous varchar columns that require checking the
string length?
