I have noticed an issue in Hive 1.2 where char data is rtrimmed when converted to string. This doesn't occur when converting varchar to string. Is this a bug? or a feature? select length(cast('abc ' as char(10))),
length(cast('abc ' as varchar(10))),
length(cast('abc ' as string));
_c0,_c1,_c2
3,7,7
In the above example I would expect the length of the char field to be 10.
