This only breaks with text (maybe blob) columns. varchar does not break in this manner. |

FYI, this isn't minor to me; I'm currently trying to decide between postgres columnar, clickhouse, and mariadb columnstore for OLAP. One of my requirements is to be able to add a text column, and this bug makes it impossible to add a text column and then insert into the columnstore table, so I may be forced to drop it from consideration. |
