             Summary: DatabaseMetadata.getColumns() returns bad COLUMN_SIZE for varchar and varbinary columns 
                 Key: PHOENIX-2371
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2371
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.5.0
         Environment: Linux lnxx64r6 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 15:42:40 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
            Reporter: Sergio Lob


DatabaseMetadata.getColumns() returns bad COLUMN_SIZE value for varchar and varbinary columns. Specifically, for the following table:
CREATE TABLE SERGIO (I INTEGER, V10 VARCHAR(10),
VHUGE VARCHAR(2147483647), V VARCHAR, VB10 VARBINARY(10), VBHUGE VARBINARY(2147483647), VB VARBINARY) ;

1. COLUMN_SIZE is NULL for all varbinary columns, no matter the defined size. This should return the max possible size of the column, so:
COLUMN_SIZE should return 10 for column VB10,
COLUMN_SIZE should return 2147483647 for column VBHUGE,
COLUMN_SIZE should return 2147483647 for column VB, assuming that a column defined with no size should default to the maximum size.

2. COLUMN_SIZE returns NULL for all varchar columns that are not defined with a size, like in column V in the above CREATE TABLE. I would think that a VARCHAR column defined with no size parameter should default to the maximum size possible (2147483647) for COLUMN_SIZE,  not to NULL.
