Hi Prasanth,

Thanks for you review.

When converting from CHAR(N) to CHAR(M), the StringGroupFromStringGroupTreeReader class is used.  It calls convertStringGroupVectorElement to do any necessary trimming/length adjustment.

The Q files have cases for converting to smaller and larger maxLength, etc.

Yes, I saw that when the row reader stuff was removed a bunch of not used members / parameters appeared.  I had already removed them in the patch that Sergey is currently reviewing.

> E.g. when a data file is copied in has a VARCHAR maxLength that doesn't match the DDL's maxLength.  This error is produced:
> {code}
> java.io.IOException: ORC does not support type conversion from file type varchar(145) (36) to reader type varchar(114) (36)
> {code}
