                 Key: PHOENIX-4330
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4330
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: suprita bothra


Hi ,

I am using apache phoenix to create table and then dump csv data into table.
But now I want to alter one colomn’s datatype length from varchar(7) to varchar(14),without losing the existing data into table.

Can it be done?
If yes how?

I tried the command to address the above mentioned issue but
ALTER TABLE G1V3IN_ADITI ALTER "INVOICE"."SBNUM" set data type varchar(15), column "INVOICE"."SBNUM" drop default;

Where sbnum is the colomn whose existing datatype length is 7 but we want to change it to 15.
G1V3IN_ADITI is table name.

But facing the below error:
Error: ERROR 601 (42P00): Syntax error. Encountered "ALTER" at line 1, column 26. (state=42P00,code=601)
org.apache.phoenix.exception.PhoenixParserException: ERROR 601 (42P00): Syntax error. Encountered "ALTER" at line 1, column 26.
