> scala> Seq(1, 1, 2, 2).map(i => Tuple1(i.toString)).toDF("c").select($"c" cast BinaryType).distinct.show()

> Spark SQL uses plain byte arrays to represent binary values. However, arrays are compared by reference rather than by value. On the other hand, the DISTINCT operator uses a {{HashSet}} and its {{.contains}} method to check for duplicated values. These two facts together cause the problem.
