Chaoyu Tang commented on HIVE-10933:
------------------------------------

I could not reproduce your issue in trunk and believe it has been resolved by HIVE-5847 since Hive 0.14. Could you try again in Hive 1.2?

> DatabaseMetadata.getColumns() returns "COLUMN_SIZE" as 0 for a column defined as varchar(32), or char(32).   While ResultSetMetaData.getPrecision() returns correct value 32.
> Here is the segment program that reproduces the issue.
> try {
> 	statement = connection.createStatement();
> 			
> 	statement.execute("drop table if exists son_table");
> 			
> 	statement.execute("create table son_table( col1 varchar(32) )");
> 			
> 	statement.close();
> 			
> } catch ( Exception e) {
> 	   return;

> // get column info using metadata
> try {
> 	DatabaseMetaData dmd = null;
> 	ResultSet resultSet = null;
> 			
> 	dmd = connection.getMetaData();
> 			
> 	resultSet = dmd.getColumns(null, null, "son_table", "col1");
> 			
> 	if ( resultSet.next() ) {
> 		String tabName = resultSet.getString("TABLE_NAME");
> 		String colName = resultSet.getString("COLUMN_NAME");
> 		String dataType = resultSet.getString("DATA_TYPE");
> 		String typeName = resultSet.getString("TYPE_NAME");
> 		int precision = resultSet.getInt("COLUMN_SIZE");
> 				
> 		// output is: colName = col1, dataType = 12, typeName = VARCHAR, precision = 0.
> 	      System.out.format("colName = %s, dataType = %s, typeName = %s, precision = %d.",
> 		colName, dataType, typeName, precision);
