             Summary: Add a conf to always read Binary columns stored in Parquet as String columns
                 Key: SPARK-2927
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2927
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Yin Huai


Based on Parquet spec (https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-format), "strings are stored as byte arrays (binary) with a UTF8 annotation". However, if the data generator does not follow it, we will only read binary values back instead of string values.
