> scala> import org.apache.spark.sql.types._
> scala> Seq(1, 1, 2, 2).map(i => Tuple1(i.toString)).toDF("c").select($"c"

> ...
> CAST(c, BinaryType)

> Spark SQL uses plain byte arrays to represent binary values. However, arrays
> are compared by reference rather than by value. On the other hand, the
> DISTINCT operator uses a {{HashSet}} and its {{.contains}} method to check
> for duplicated values. These two facts together cause the problem.
