-----------------------------------

I also just hit this problem. Maybe use base64 string, but inefficient.

> Quite often, we want to import blob data type from mysql/SQL Server to Hive.
> Currently we either have to store BLOB data in HBase or pass the data as base64 encoded string. Neither of which is efficient.
> We should support byte array as native data type.
