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.
