-----------------------------------
I also just hit this problem. Maybe use base64 string, but inefficient.
> Support BLOB data type

> Key: HIVE-1706
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1706
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Serializers/Deserializers
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Ted Yu
>
> Quite often, we want to import blob data type from mysql/SQL Server to Hive.
> Currently we either have to store BLOB data in HBase or pass the data as
> base64 encoded string. Neither of which is efficient.
> We should support byte array as native data type.
