Nathan Beyer commented on THRIFT-1766:
--------------------------------------
Interestingly, the patch does enable the 'binary' type for the JSON protocol.
For whatever reason, the JSONProtocol class implemented read_binary and
write_binary methods, but prior to this patch, they would have never been
invoked. From what I can tell, they seem to line up with code in the C++ and
Java libraries.

>
> The Ruby library didn't provide explicit support for 'binary' types, which
> sort of worked on Ruby 1.8.7 and with Thrift 0.8, but it doesn't work with
> Ruby 1.9.3 and the encoding changes that were included with Thrift 0.9.
> This issue is intended to provide first class support for the 'binary' type.
