Chuck Connell commented on HIVE-2380:
-------------------------------------
Let me state my earlier comment another way... If the BINARY column type
"works" in narrow sense, but it is impossible to get binary data from a file
into Hive, then this feature is essentially useless. So we need some
explanation for how to use the existing DDL features to support BINARY columns,
or a new file format that allows it.
