Support for Text Datatype
Hi all,
The documentation (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DRILL/Data+Types) lists Text as
a supported data type in Drill and I vaguely remember using the same
sometime before in my CTAS scripts.
As of now, my queries with an explicit cast to Text fails complaining "*Unknown
datatype name 'TEXT' "*
Can someone confirm if Text is indeed a supported data type and the current
behavior is a bug? Or if it unsupported and the documentation needs to be
corrected. I'll file a JIRA accordingly.
Regards,
Abhishek

Then there is a high chance I might have used it with Postgres instead.
Like you said, the documentation needs to be updated. But I shall wait for
your confirmation. Thanks!

Text type fails validation in Calcite/Optiq so I don't think it was ever
supported. There's a good chance the documentation needs to be
updated..but let me confirm that by tomorrow.
