Github user xguo27 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/9612#issuecomment-156276620 Hi Wenchen: Can you elaborate on using ByteType for char a little more? Ultimately, the difference between char(x) and varchar(x) is the fixed/variable length, which results in padding. So it's a good idea to keep the underlying type the same, right?
