Description

Talking to ffomenko on Slack, it'd be nice to have more examples on how to use the binary column type in the Java client. One source of confusion is that the ByteBuffer API grabs the remaining() bytes, which can be counter-intuitive (hey I just filled that BB and I get 0 bytes back!). Also giving examples on the read side would be good, again counter-intuitively you can't just use array() to get a byte[].
