For points #1 and #3, I think I really mean converting the data we already
have. We have a lot of data in our system with our current schema and would
have to upgrade the entire schema and most of our historical data to fit the
new standards, which for us would be a non-trivial process.
We are also writing to the underlying tables through our own library, not
through Phoenix, and that system is set up to have TenantId as an UNSIGNED_INT.
This code is pretty ingrained in our system, and would require a massive
refactor and significant restructure of how our cluster works to switch over to
using something like fixed-length CHAR arrays.
As for the tests, I'll get them up as soon as possible.
