[Steve Ebersole (JIRA)]

Improve LOB Type handling 
--------------------------

                 Key: HHH-5830
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5830
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.6.0
            Reporter: Steve Ebersole
            Assignee: Steve Ebersole
             Fix For: 3.6.1


3.6 introduced the new approach for defining Type, both in the use of delegated descriptors as well as the introduction of a {{TypeRegistry}}.  There were specific problems caused in regards to handling large string and binary ({{BLOB}}, {{LOB}}, {{LONGVARCHAR}}, {{LONGVARBINARY}}) SQL types.

Generally speaking these all boil down the need for dialects to be able to define specific, appropriate "{{Type}} overrides".  This is planned for 4.0, but we need to account for something similar in 3.6 as well.
