Description

	
a = load 'allscalar10k' as (name, age, gpa, instate);
b = filter a by instate==TRUE;
dump b; 	

Error:In alias b, incompatible types in Equal Operator left hand side:bytearray right hand side:boolean

Currently we only support implicit conversion from bytearray to chararray and number types (int,long,float,double). We need to add support for boolean as well.
