[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-8089) Add type support

["Nick Dimiduk (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8089?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nick Dimiduk updated HBASE-8089:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-8089-types.txt

Updated spec document with definitions for VARCHAR and CHAR. After discussion and deliberation, I decided to roughly follow Orderly's approach. The reasoning being: the additional computation imposed by incrementing values and (slight) storage overhead of explicit termination is worth the cost. That is, this approach places no limitation on where the user can use a \{VAR,\}CHAR type.

> This proposal outlines an improvement to HBase that provides for a set of types, above and beyond the existing "byte-bucket" strategy. This is intended to reduce user-level duplication of effort, provide better support for 3rd-party integration, and provide an overall improved experience for developers using HBase.
