                 Key: CARBONDATA-586
                 URL: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-586             Project: CarbonData
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: data-load
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-incubating
         Environment: Cluster
            Reporter: Anurag Srivastava
            Priority: Minor
I am trying to use Char data type with Carbon Data latest version and it created successfully. When I started loading data in this that time I found that it is taking data more then its size. 
I have checked it with hive and there it is working fine.
EX :- 
1. *Carbon Data :* 
1.1 create table test_carbon (name char(10)) stored by 'org.apache.carbondata.format';
1.2 desc test_carbon;
*Output :* 
+-------------+--------------+----------+--+
| col_name | data_type  | comment   |
+-------------+--------------+--------------+
| name        | string         |                  |
+-------------+--------------+--------------+
1.3 LOAD DATA INPATH 'hdfs://localhost:54310/test.csv' into table test_carbon OPTIONS ('FILEHEADER'='name');
1.4 select * from test_carbon;
*Output :* 
+------------------------+
|        name               |
+------------------------+
| Anurag Srivasrata  |
| Robert                    |
| james james           |
+------------------------+
2. *Hive :* 
2.1 create table test_hive (name char(10));
2.2 desc test_hive;
*Output :* 
+-------------+--------------+-------------+
| col_name | data_type  | comment  |
+-------------+--------------+-------------+
| name        | char(10)    | NULL       |
+-------------+--------------+-------------+
2.3 LOAD DATA INPATH 'hdfs://localhost:54310/test.csv' into table test_hive;
2.4 select * from test_hive;
*Output :* 
+----------------+
|    name         |
+----------------+
| james jame   |
| Anurag Sri    |
| Robert          |
+----------------+
So as hive truncate remaining string with Char data type in carbon data it should work like hive.
