Along the lines of having better control of messages in the log, provide a way to disable warnings when a Hadoop string is 32k in length.
If I run:
proc sql;
connect to hadoop ( &hadoop_connection.);
select * from connection to hadoop ( describe extended TABLE );
I get the message:
WARNING: The following columns could have a length in SAS of 32767. If so, SAS performance is impacted. See SAS/ACCESS documentation for details. The columns read from Hive followed by the maximum length observed were: col_name:450, data_type:639, comment:0
I should be able to query to Hadoop metadata without warnings.
