Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5819:
--------------------------------------
Good catch, and easily fixed.
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
