This feature allows all carbondata and index files to keep directy under tablepath. Currently all carbondata/carbonindex files written under tablepath/Fact/Part0/Segment_NUM folder and it is not same as hive/parquet folder structure. This feature makes all files written will be directly under tablepath, it does not maintain any segment folder structure.This is useful for interoperability between the execution engines and plugin with other execution engines like hive or presto becomes easier.

+ - **String longer than 32000 characters**
+
+ In common scenarios, the length of string is less than 32000,
+ so carbondata stores the length of content using Short to reduce memory and space consumption.
+ To support string longer than 32000 characters, carbondata introduces a table property called `LONG_STRING_COLUMNS`.
+ For these columns, carbondata internally stores the length of content using Integer.
+
+ You can specify the columns as 'long string column' using below tblProperties:
+
+ ```
+ // specify col1, col2 as long string columns
+ TBLPROPERTIES ('LONG_STRING_COLUMNS'='col1,col2')
+ ```
+
+ Besides, you can also use this property through DataFrame by
+ ```
+ df.format("carbondata")
+ .option("tableName", "carbonTable")
+ .option("long_string_columns", "col1, col2")
+ .save()
+ ```
+
+ If you are using Carbon-SDK, you can specify the datatype of long string column as `varchar`.
+ You can refer to SDKwriterTestCase for example.
+
+ **NOTE:** The LONG_STRING_COLUMNS can only be string/char/varchar columns and cannot be dictionary_include/sort_columns/complex columns.

## CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
This function allows user to create a Carbon table from any of the Parquet/Hive/Carbon table. This is beneficial when the user wants to create Carbon table from any other Parquet/Hive table and use the Carbon query engine to query and achieve better query results for cases where Carbon is faster than other file formats. Also this feature can be used for backing up the data.
