Until now we only supported string for key columns (hash or sort key). This patch adds support for the bytes type (a.k.a binary or blob) as well. The last missing type to be supported in keys is the number type. Note that in JSON, bytes values are represented with base64 encoding, so we need to decode them before storing the decoded value, and re-encode when the user retrieves the value. The decoding is important not just for saving storage space (the encoding is 4/3 the size of the decoded) but also for correct *sorting* of the binary keys.
