[V2] USE_BINARY_STRING in ClickHouse V2 client

[krvikash]

Describe your feedback

I’m currently working on upgrading the ClickHouse client in Trino from version 0.7.1-patch1 to 0.9.2 #26735.

In the Trino ClickHouse connector, we rely on ClickHouseClientOption.USE_BINARY_STRING. However, in the V2 client, the USE_BINARY_STRING option is no longer supported.

Could you please confirm if there are any plans to support USE_BINARY_STRING (or an equivalent option) in the V2 client?

Good day, @krvikash !
Yes, we will support it. From my perspective we need to make it default behavior and convert to String on demand.
There is an issue #2263 and we will do work under this issue.

Would you please share your experience and use case of how you use this feature? It will help us to improve solution.

Thanks!
