> With a table containing binary data such as
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE complex_datatype (A INT, b BINARY);
> INSERT INTO complex_datatype VALUES (1, CAST("a" as BINARY)), (2, CAST("8" as BINARY)), (3, CAST(NULL as BINARY));
> {code}
> querying it with Python 3 mangles the output by prefixing it with 'b' and quoting it
> {code}
> $ IMPALA_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=python3 impala-shell.sh -q 'select * from complex_datatype'
> ...
> +---+------+
> | a | b    |
> +---+------+
> | 1 | b'a' |
> | 2 | b'8' |
> | 3 | NULL |
> +---+------+
> Fetched 3 row(s) in 0.11s
> {code}
> This should look like
> {code}
> +---+------+
> | a | b    |
> +---+------+
> | 1 | a    |
> | 2 | 8    |
> | 3 | NULL |
> +---+------+
> {code}
> Behaves the same when outputting to a file as well, with and without {{-B}}.
> The beeswax protocol works fine, so this is specific to the hs2 client.
