Description

We really need a well documented binary type.
Let's collect all binary type relevant issues here and create it!

Sub-Tasks

• Generated Java code for structures containing binary fields (or collections thereof) are not serializable (in the Java sense) even though they implement java.io.Serializable: Closed
• Switch binary field implementation from byte[] to ByteBuffer: Closed
• Python library + compiler does not support unicode strings: Closed
• Make binary a full-fledged type of its own: Closed
• Support non-UTF-8 in Java and C#: Closed
• [Ruby] Provide support for binary types: Closed
• Ruby-1.9: data loss: "binary" fields are re-encoded: Closed
• Ruby-1.9: "binary" fields are represented by string whose encoding is "UTF-8": Closed
• Container types containing binary data are parameterized with ByteBuffer in the generated Java code: Closed
• Improved string encoding and decoding performance: Closed
• binary type isn't documented nor demonstrated in the tutorial: Closed
• Can't assign binary fields default values: Closed
• Integrate binary type in standard Thrift cross test: Closed
