ChenKai commented on PHOENIX-3934:
----------------------------------

Now in version 4.14.1, VarBinaryFormatter has been added in PhoenixConnection. But the Hex string length is too long when showing in the sqlline console, i think we need some parameters to control this.

> 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);
