   I believe the new behaviour is more sensible than the previous - returning just `[B@ba4f370` was useless; returning the String made from Binary blob at least returns some content... I know some systems try to parse back these results as JSON to be able to explore the nested data - e.g. I think PowerBI does that with what thriftserver returns... I fear that if the binary has some strange contents, it would break the JSON parsing... But I haven't tested it.
   I don't expect anyone using this kind of type combination and running into issues in practice...
