Description
Currently when trying to checkpoint a table with a binary column, this will fail with
data type Binary not supported
. This appears to be due to an arrow transformation into JSON to serialize the checkpoint format, and thatarrow-json
doesn't support binary (https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/master/arrow-json/src/writer.rs#L213).This is a targeted fix that just disables stats generation for binary columns, which (at least to me) doesn't really make sense anyhow. This is a more targeted fix than #1498 and currently all the tests pass.
