Hi everyone,
Currently carbon only supports altering schema for primitive types.
We can extend it to complex columns too -
1) alter add complex column(array/struct)
2) alter drop complex column(array/struct)
3) alter change datatype/rename complex column(array/struct)
Here phase-1 focuses only on non-nested complex columns.
Phase-2 will later target nested ones.
Please let me know your valid inputs about the same.
Following is the link to the design document.
