John Sichi commented on HIVE-972:
---------------------------------

I set up a MySQL metastore configuration, then created a table and view 
successfully. Browsing the resulting MySQL database, it looks like JDO chose 
MEDIUMTEXT for the type of the lob attributes. MEDIUMTEXT allows up to 2^24 
bytes (16MB), which should be good enough for even very large views.

Also, all tests are passing when I apply the .3 patch to svn head, so it's 
ready for commit.
