Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-3246:
-------------------------------------
The fix to use byte[] will not be backward compatible, but for the long term I
think it is important to fix this. Hopefully, this won't affect too many people
as binary datatype is relatively new.
> java primitive type for binary datatype should be byte[]

> PrimitiveObjectInspector.getPrimitiveJavaObject is supposed to return a java
> object. But in case of binary datatype, it returns ByteArrayRef (not java
> standard type). The suitable java object for it would be byte[].
