[Akash R Nilugal (Jira)]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-4179?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Akshay updated CARBONDATA-4179:
-------------------------------
    Description:
Complex columns supported for - *array and struct.*

For schema lets say- *str struct<a:int>* the following points will be considered   - 

1) Rename parent name *str to str2* 

alter table test_rename change str str2 struct<a:int>

 

2) Rename child name from *a to b*

alter table test_rename change str str struct<b:int>

 

3) Change datatype of *a* from *int to long*

alter table test_rename change str str struct<a:long>

 

*NOTE*- Renaming and changing datatype both operations should be done without changing the levels of the complex column. For example :

1) int cannot be converted to an array or struct.

2) array cannot be converted to struct and vice-versa
