This allows the UDF to return the resulting char/varchar length in the type metadata. This work is being split off as a separate task from HIVE-4844. The initial UDFs as part of this work are concat/lower/upper. NO PRECOMMIT TESTS - dependent on HIVE-4844 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
