[jira] [Updated] (PHOENIX-3187) Support multi-byte characters for CHAR datatype

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3187?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Vikash Talanki updated PHOENIX-3187:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently, Phoenix CHAR data type supports only single byte characters. We need support for multi byte characters in CHAR datatype.

Case 1: Support multi byte characters in CHAR data type like VARCHAR - CHAR(1) can take any multi-byte character.
Case 2: Support multi byte characters in CHAR data type only if it fits in defined length - CHAR(1) takes only single byte character but CHAR( n ) can take one n-byte character. In other words, the total number of bytes of all characters should not exceed the defined length.
