For string/varchar/text type, the length field is fixed to 2GB. (`ColumnMetaPB`) We don't actually have to allocate 2GB for every string type because we will reallocate the precise size of memory for the string in `WrapperField::from_string()` ``` Status from_string(const std::string& value_string, const int precision = 0, const int scale = 0) { if (_is_string_type) { if (value_string.size() > _var_length) { Slice* slice = reinterpret_cast<Slice*>(cell_ptr()); slice->size = value_string.size(); _var_length = slice->size; _string_content.reset(new char[slice->size]); slice->data = _string_content.get(); } } return _rep->from_string(_field_buf + 1, value_string, precision, scale); } ``` # Proposed changes Issue Number: close #xxx ## Problem summary Describe your changes. ## Checklist(Required) 1.
