Minor Description
LOAD and UNLOAD involving LOB columns is currently not supported. However they are not disallowed in the compiler. This causes strange errors to be seen at runtime. Sometimes success is reported and no rows are loaded, sometime we get an error saying HFile is not found.
With this change we will raise these compiler errors for LOAD and UNLOAD, when LOB columns are involved. If LOB is treated as a VARCHAR then this change will not apply.
