Venkata Ramana G commented on SPARK-3593:
-----------------------------------------
BinaryType is currently not derived under NativeType and does not have Ordering
Support.
So BinaryType can be moved under NativeType as it already has JvmType defined,
and required to implement Ordering.
Hive also identifies BinaryType these types under Primitive Types keeping other
complex types like Arrays,Maps,Structs and union as Complex Types.
This is similar to current TimestampType handling.
