> Using {{STRING}} datatypes is much faster than {{VARCHAR}}.  Add a configuration to HiveServer2 (HS2) that automatically converts {{VARCHAR}} DDL table definitions to {{STRING}}.  In this way, if a BI tool is creating {{VARCHAR}} column in tables, and the behavior cannot be changed, HS2 will change them automatically.
