Xinrong Meng updated SPARK-38225:
---------------------------------
Description:
Currently, function to_binary doesn't deal with the non-string `format`
parameter properly.
For example, `spark.sql("select to_binary('abc', 1)")` raises casting error,
rather than hint that encoding format is unsupported.
In addition, `base2` format is arguable as discussed
[here](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/35415#discussion_r805578036). We
may exclude it following what Snowflake
[to_binary](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/functions/to_binary.html)
does for now.
