What changes were proposed in this pull request?
When reading column descriptions from hive catalog, we currently populate the metadata for all types to record the raw hive type string. In terms of processing , we need this additional metadata information for CHAR/VARCHAR types or complex type containing the CHAR/VARCHAR types.
Its a minor cleanup. I haven't created a JIRA for it.
How was this patch tested?
