Presto - Inclusion of varchar(64), etc. in Hive table causes error

[FiredrakeRAGE]

I have an HDFS/Hive instance set up using MySQL as a metastore.

Running the following version of Hadoop: hadoop-1.2.1
Running the following version of Hive: hive-0.12.0
Running the following version of Presto Server: presto-server-0.54
Running the following version of Discovery Server: discovery-server-1.16
Using the following Presto CLI: presto-cli-0.54-executable.jar

I have a Hive Table created as follows:

[localhost:10001] hive> describe stats;
A int                     None
B smallint             None
C tinyint               None
D tinyint                None
E varchar(64)         None
F smallint                None
G int                     None
H bigint                  None
I int                     None
J bigint                  None
K int                     None
L bigint                  None
hour                    int                     None

# Partition Information
# col_name              data_type               comment

hour                    int                     None

The table appears to work well in Hive. It is correctly populated with data. However, when I attempt to query the table via Presto, I see errors:

presto:default> describe stats;

Query 20131205_215319_00040_y5j69, FAILED, 1 node
Splits: 2 total, 0 done (0.00%)
0:00 [0 rows, 0B] [0 rows/s, 0B/s]

Query 20131205_215319_00040_y5j69 failed: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException Error: type expected at the position 29 of 'int:smallint:tinyint:tinyint:varchar(64):smallint:int:bigint:int:bigint:int:bigint' but 'varchar' is found.)

presto:default> select count(1) from stats;
Query 20131205_215340_00041_y5j69 failed: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException Error: type expected at the position 29 of 'int:smallint:tinyint:tinyint:varchar(64):smallint:int:bigint:int:bigint:int:bigint' but 'varchar' is found.)

There is not a lot of debug information:

2013-12-05T21:54:59.748+0000    DEBUG   query-scheduler-33      com.facebook.presto.execution.QueryStateMachine Query 20131205_215459_00042_y5j69 is PLANNING

Presto appears to work correctly with tables that do not contain 'varchar' types:

presto:default> select count(1) from other_stats;

 _col0
-------
  2916
(1 row)

Query 20131205_224304_00043_y5j69, FINISHED, 1 node
Splits: 730 total, 730 done (100.00%)
0:05 [2.92K rows, 102KB] [563 rows/s, 19.7KB/s]

Does Presto not support 'varchar' field types?

Issue is that Presto is not compatible with Hive > 0.10.0. Varchar introduced with 0.12.0.
