Pt-archiver - POINT data type and Cast / Convert Column

Hello.

We have a table that has a POINT data type column.

When we use pt-archiver to export to a csv file, the data for the POINT type column are a bunch of random gibberish text.

Also we can not use this file later to import it because it throws an error with these data.

Is it possible in pt-archiver to define the --columns option and try to convert the column, with the HEX() function so that we can have a csv file without these gibberish data?

For example something like --columns id,HEX(coordinates)

Is there another way to export correctly geometric data types?

Thank you.

Hello @Mulen,
This looks like a straight up bug for pt-archiver. I could not find any open bugs on it. Please open one at https://jira.percona.com and our toolkit team will investigate.
