[jira] [Resolved] (DRILL-734) Describe command shows incorrect types for Hive backed tables

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-734?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jacques Nadeau resolved DRILL-734.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Drill only supports SQL types, not Java types.  As such, all external sources need to map to these internal types.

> When a hive table contains a string datatype, drill's describe command shows it as varchar. Hive differentiates between these 2 types.
