James Taylor reopened PHOENIX-3934:
-----------------------------------
> VARBINARY type doesn't have a useful representation in sqlline.py
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PHOENIX-3934
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3934
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Shehzaad Nakhoda
>
> When interacting with a commonly-used command line client like sqlline.py a
> VARBINARY type is not represented in a useful way in query results. The value
> seems to be a representation of the Java hashcode for the byte array, which
> changes with every query.
> The following transcript will make this obvious. Note the value of MYBYTES is
> hard to make use of and moreover it changes with every query. I would like to
> see some stable representation of the byte array itself.
> 0: jdbc:phoenix:localhost:2181:/hbase> create table my_table (name VARCHAR
> PRIMARY KEY, mybytes VARBINARY);
> No rows affected (2.33 seconds)
> 0: jdbc:phoenix:localhost:2181:/hbase> upsert into my_table(name, mybytes)
> values('hello', '12312');
> 1 row affected (0.004 seconds)
> 0: jdbc:phoenix:localhost:2181:/hbase> select * from my_table;
> +--------+-------------+
> | NAME | MYBYTES |
