             Summary: Add a string_binary() function to pretty print a VARBINARY type as VARCHAR
                 Key: DRILL-1922
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-1922
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Functions - Drill
            Reporter: Aditya Kishore
            Assignee: Aditya Kishore
             Fix For: 0.8.0


Drill has a function {{binary_string()}}, which converts a UTF8 encoded, [http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/escape|C style HEX escaped strings], of the form "\Xnn" into a {{VARYBINARY}} type.

This JIRA propose to add a counter function for converting a {{VARYBINARY}} type into a {{VARCHAR}} type encoded with the same scheme.
