I personally find the notion of a function called character_length operating on binary data somewhat perverse, binary data by definition doesn't have a notion of a character. Perhaps we could have a character length function that operates on strings, and a separate length kernel that returns the number of bytes - i.e. https://docs.rs/arrow-string/latest/arrow_string/length/fn.length.html ? A brief google search suggests this notion is normally called OCTET_LENGTH. This would be consistent with postgres -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
