             Summary: Add test storage plugin providing columns of all data types for testing metadata (etc.)
                 Key: DRILL-3253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3253
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill)


There probably should be a test/dummy/mock storage plugin that provides an easy way to have views and/or tables with columns covering all* supported data types.

(*for appropriate values of "all"--all top-level cases (atomic types (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR(...))); some, but obviously not all, subcases (e.g., VARCHAR(1) vs. VARCHAR(2), INTEGER ARRAY vs. INTEGER ARRAY ARRAY)).

This would make testing things such as INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS and DatabaseMetaData.Columns easier.
