> Hive's binary data types seem very similar to strings with some exceptions:
> - no implicit/explicit cast to any type except string
> - bit different built-in functions than for string, but some functions accept both string and binary (e.g. concat)
> - written to text files with base64 encoding
> (see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF )
> I didn't look around about client support yet.
