Description

At the moment we have strange difference between how MR/psql upload and upsert handles varbinary. MR/ psql expects that it's base64 encoded whereas upsert takes input as a string. Should we add an option to load it as a plain data or base64 in MR/psql?

Sub-Tasks

• Create documentation for binaryEncoding option for CSVBulkLoad/pSQL.py: Reopened
• Fail if binary field in CSV is not properly base64 encoded: Resolved
