[jira] [Updated] (ORC-688) Allow CHAR, VARCHAR to be promoted to STRING

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-688?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Shardul Mahadik updated ORC-688:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
E.g. For the evolution File type {{struct<x:char(10)>}} Reader type {{struct<x:string>}}
we currently get the following error
{code}
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No conversion of type STRING to self needed

	at org.apache.orc.impl.ConvertTreeReaderFactory.createStringConvertTreeReader(ConvertTreeReaderFactory.java:1954)
	at org.apache.orc.impl.ConvertTreeReaderFactory.createConvertTreeReader(ConvertTreeReaderFactory.java:2267)
	at org.apache.orc.impl.TreeReaderFactory.createTreeReader(TreeReaderFactory.java:2804)
	at org.apache.orc.impl.TreeReaderFactory$StructTreeReader.<init>(TreeReaderFactory.java:2420)
	at org.apache.orc.impl.TreeReaderFactory.createTreeReader(TreeReaderFactory.java:2844)
	at org.apache.orc.impl.TreeReaderFactory.createRootReader(TreeReaderFactory.java:2859)
{code}

Should we allow such an evolution?
