Hi,

What do you mean here? Do you mean binary fields VS varchars? Could you
please give an example of the object?

Thank you,
Evgenii

Clay,

If you want to store plain strings without any schema or markup, then use
varchar.
But if you plan to store POJOs, then binary objects should certainly be
used instead of varchar. Binary types contain meta information, improving
type safety of stored data.

Binary objects don't apply any compression. This improvement is planned to
be implemented on data storage level, not the objects format.
