---------------------------------------

             Summary: Add a TEXT-like data type to enable the string longer than 64K
                 Key: ASTERIXDB-1102
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1102
             Project: Apache AsterixDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Data Model
            Reporter: Jianfeng Jia


The current "String" type can't handle the string longer than 64K. The first reason is that we are using java DataOutputStream to serialize it. It stores the length using two bytes. However, it should serve the basic requirement for "string" type.
We need a special TEXT-like datatype to deal with long strings. And probably add some search-related functionalities.
