             Summary: When view is created on top of parquet file, underlying data types should be automatically converted to SQL type
                 Key: DRILL-2621
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2621
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Victoria Markman


Since parquet types are known to us, we need to make sure to expose these types without making user explicitly cast each column.

"create view v1 as select c_integer from j1; " produces view with column of ANY data type.

{code}
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> describe v1;
+-------------+------------+-------------+
| COLUMN_NAME | DATA_TYPE  | IS_NULLABLE |
+-------------+------------+-------------+
| c_integer   | ANY        | YES         |
+-------------+------------+-------------+
1 row selected (0.091 seconds)
{code}

I think we need to expend "CREATE VIEW" document for GA explaining this fact.
