> 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.
