Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-8224:
--------------------------------------
Doc note: This should be documented in the AvroSerDe wikidoc. It's not as
simple as adding a version note in one place, because there are several CREATE
TABLE examples that supposedly include all data types.
So consider changes to these sections:
* [AvroSerDe -- Avro to Hive type conversion |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-AvrotoHivetypeconversion]
* [AvroSerDe -- Creating Avro-backed Hive tables -- Hive 0.14 and later
versions |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-Hive0.14andlaterversions]
(if add char & varchar to the example, point out that they weren't included in
the previous example for all Hive versions)
* [AvroSerDe -- Writing tables to Avro files -- Example |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-Example]
("the following Hive table, which covers all types of Hive data types" needs to
be rewritten)
* [AvroSerDe -- Writing tables to Avro files -- Hive 0.14 and later |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-Hive0.14andlater]
(uses the same example as pre-0.14, so shouldn't include char & varchar but
they could be mentioned here)
> Support Char, Varchar in AvroSerDe
