------------------------------------
Hi [~lirui],
Could you implement MultiDelimitSerde without making the change to LazyBinary?
The way I read the code this could cause some users of the text serdes to have
"new" and unexpected results returned.
> Use multiple-characters as field delimiter

> By default, hive only allows user to use single character as field delimiter.
> Although there's RegexSerDe to specify multiple-character delimiter, it can
> be daunting to use, especially for amateurs.
> In the patch, I add a new SerDe named MultiDelimitSerDe. With
> MultiDelimitSerDe, users can specify a multiple-character field delimiter
> when creating tables, in a way most similar to typical table creations.
