Hive - Varchar vs String , Is there any advantage if the storage format is Parquet file format
问题 I have a HIVE table which will hold billions of records, its a time-series data so the partition is per minute. Per minute we will have around 1 million records. I have few fields in my table, VIN number (17 chars), Status (2 chars) ... etc So my question is during the table creation if I choose to use Varchar(X) vs String, is there any storage or performance problem, Few limitation of varchar are https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Types#LanguageManualTypes-string
