> For variant, I agree that there isn't much value here. Every variant can contain a different fixed length so there isn't a significant difference from binary. I'd avoid adding this and increasing the size of the spec and the number of types that must be supported. Yes, I agree. There isn't much value in the semi-structured Variant world, where there is no "global schema" of Variant values. I'd prefer to keep the spec more simple, and just use the Variant `binary` type for bytes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
