Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-3264:
----------------------------------------
I see that describe is already there in .q file and its printing the expected
output as well. Adding more unit tests is always welcome. Looks like it will
serialize binary to bytes. I see the code there. But there are no tests, (.q is
just testing desirialization) so not sure. It will be good to add a test for it.
> Add support for binary dataype to AvroSerde

> When the AvroSerde was written, Hive didn't have a binary type, so Avro's
> byte array type is converted an array of small ints. Now that HIVE-2380 is
> in, this step isn't necessary and we can convert both Avro's bytes type and
> probably fixed type to Hive's binary type.
