> [DOC]: Document Impala support for Kudu VARCHAR type

> See Impala-5092. The length of a Kudu varchar is applied as a character
> length as opposed to a byte length which Impala currently uses. Kudu tuples
> containing VARCHAR columns use characters instead of bytes to limit the
> length. In the case of ASCII values there is no difference. However, if
> multi-byte characters are written to Kudu the length could be longer than
> allowed.
> Impala checks the actual length and truncates the length of the value if
> necessary.
