Should it also be binary sortable, and we can get rid of DynamicSerDe 
completely ?

> Add LazyBinarySerDe to Hive

>             Project: Hadoop Hive
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 0.4.0
>            Reporter: Zheng Shao
>
> Currently the most popular SerDe in Hive is LazySimpleSerDe. LazySimpleSerDe 
> has the benefit of being simple (use text format to store data), but its 
> performance may suffer in the following cases:
> 1. For double values, we are storing them in text format which is very 
> space-inefficient, and both serialization and deserialization are slow;
> 2. For complex type of columns that contains a lot of levels, we are scanning 
> the buffer once per level, which is very inefficient.
> We should add a binary serde format that stores the data in binary format. 
> The format should have the following properties:
> 1. Compact: it should be space-efficient;
> 2. Fast: it should be efficiently to deserialize the data, especially for 
> double values and complex types.
> 3. It should support serializing NULL values.
