    I'm a bit confused.  Are you assuming VarBinary is encoded as 3 int values 
: # of months, # of days and # of millisecon?  If varbinary is encoded in such 
way, which is parquet used to encode logical type "interval", why do we have to 
cast ? 
    
    My understanding is varbinary looks similar to varchar, except that the 
former contains byte while the latter contains character.
