John Sichi commented on HIVE-2380:
----------------------------------
Just checked, and the name BINARY in JDBC and standard SQL corresponds to a
fixed-length binary type with a specified precision:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/mapping.html
But I'm fine with us using it to mean something slightly different, and
matching thrift.
Regarding the conversions, it's fine to break it out into multiple patches;
open follow-up JIRA's linked to this one. I think the hex one will be very
useful for debugging.
