 #### Supported Avro Data Types {#supported-avro-data-types}
-
 ClickPipes supports all Avro Primitive and Complex types, and all Avro Logical types except `time-millis`, `time-micros`, `local-timestamp-millis`, `local_timestamp-micros`, and `duration`.  Avro `record` types are converted to Tuple, `array` types to Array, and `map` to Map (string keys only).  In general the conversions listed [here](/interfaces/formats/Avro#data-type-mapping) are available.  We recommend using exact type matching for Avro numeric types, as ClickPipes does not check for overflow or precision loss on type conversion.
+Alternatively, all Avro types can be inserted into a `String` column, and will be represented as a valid JSON string in that case.
 
 #### Nullable types and Avro unions {#nullable-types-and-avro-unions}
-
 Nullable types in Avro are defined by using a Union schema of `(T, null)` or `(null, T)` where T is the base Avro type.  During schema inference, such unions will be mapped to a ClickHouse "Nullable" column.  Note that ClickHouse does not support
 `Nullable(Array)`, `Nullable(Map)`, or `Nullable(Tuple)` types.  Avro null unions for these types will be mapped to non-nullable versions (Avro Record types are mapped to a ClickHouse named Tuple).  Avro "nulls" for these types will be inserted as:
 - An empty Array for a null Avro array
 - An empty Map for a null Avro Map
 - A named Tuple with all default/zero values for a null Avro Record

 ### Batching {#batching}
 ClickPipes inserts data into ClickHouse in batches. This is to avoid creating too many parts in the database which can lead to performance issues in the cluster.
 
 Batches are inserted when one of the following criteria has been met:
-- The batch size has reached the maximum size (100,000 rows or 20MB)
+- The batch size has reached the maximum size (100,000 rows or 32MB per 1GB of pod memory)

 type can be used in the Variant definition - for example, `Variant(Int64, UInt32)` is not supported.
