testing sequence typedbutes we found two issues. First NULL is encoded as list(). This is a shortcoming of typedbytes has been fixed in HIVE-1029 but not in streaming (not clear why there is a duplicate typedbytes def in hive). The other is that there are two notions of collection, a list and a vector and they both correspond to R lists, so vectors come back as lists. Unless I am missing something about typedbytes, for now this are restrictions we need to live with.
