Likely a performance issue. > java primitive type for binary datatype should be byte[] > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3246 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3246 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Thejas M Nair > Assignee: Thejas M Nair > > PrimitiveObjectInspector.getPrimitiveJavaObject is supposed to return a java > object.
