mcvsubbu commented on issue #4041: Use hex string as the representation of byte array for queries URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/pull/4041#issuecomment-478671117 > > Can you add some motivation behind the change? I am guessing (but not sure) that we want to ingest string data that are known to be hexbytes. Is that right? Is this a part of a bigger design document? If so, can you point me to one (or, add one under https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PINOT/Design+Documents) > > thanks > > My major motivation is related to this issue: #4040. > Basically I want to ingest data like `uid` as bytes format and write a lookup query on top of it. Since hex string is used to display bytes type in query results, I extend this concept and make hex string/bytes both accepted for this column. Is it not possible to use a string datatype for this? Assuming that the string is byte-array encoded does not seem right to me. Perhaps I am missing something here
