[jira] [Commented] (TRAFODION-2583) Remove deprecated CQD
HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH

[TRAFODION-2583] Remove deprecated CQD HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH
JIRA TRAFODION-2352 added the CQD HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH_IN_BYTES, with the intention of ultimately replacing HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH. HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH does not specify the unit of length and therefore was error-prone. Both CQDs were left in the code to allow time to change test scripts. But now, the time has come to remove the old CQD.

> Last November in JIRA TRAFODION-2352, we added a CQD HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH_IN_BYTES which sets the length of a hive string type for Trafodion's purposes. (Hive string types have unlimited length. Trafodion treats these as VARCHARs, but they must have a maximum length.) This CQD was intended to take the place of HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH, which was not clear about the storage unit and therefore error-prone. We left the old CQD in to allow folks to make the change in their scripts at their leisure.
> The time has come to remove the old CQD.
