The "Flink to Iceberg" type mapping table listed binary->binary and varbinary->fixed, which is the exact opposite of what FlinkTypeToType.visit(BinaryType)/visit(VarBinaryType) actually do (binary->fixed, varbinary->binary). The reverse "Iceberg to Flink" table on the same page already has the correct mapping. Generated-by: Claude Code
