Andy, Thanks for the follow-up. For what it's worth, I've been bitten by this "feature" by two separate projects this month. The only reason I thought to check field order was because it looked strikingly familiar.

If no one else has noticed in 2 years, a documentation is more than sufficient. -n On Sun, Jun 3, 2012 at 2:54 PM, Andrew Purtell <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jun 3, 2012, at 11:51 AM, Nick Dimiduk <[email protected]> wrote: > > When I: > > > > $ curl -v -XPUT \ > > -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ > > http://localhost:9999/users/TheRealMT/info:password \ > > -d '{ > > "Row": [ > > { > > "Cell": [ > > { > > * "@column": "aW5mbzpwYXNzd29yZA==",* > > * "$": "NzBOQHJJIE4wIDcwdDBSMA=="* > > } > > ], > > "@key": "VGhlUmVhbE1U" > > } > > ] > > }' > > > > The logs show: > > > > 12/06/03 02:43:16 DEBUG rest.RowResource: PUT > > http://localhost:9999/users/TheRealMT/info:password > > 12/06/03 02:43:16 DEBUG rest.RowResource: PUT > > > {"totalColumns":1,"families":{"info":[{"timestamp":9223372036854775807,"qualifier":"password", > > *"vlen":16*}]},"row":"TheRealMT"} > > > > And the write is successful. > > > > But if I: > > > > $ curl -v -XPUT \ > > -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ > > http://localhost:9999/users/TheRealMT/info:password \ > > -d '{ > > "Row": [ > > { > > "Cell": [ > > { > > * "$": "NzBOQHJJIE4wIDcwdDBSMA==",* > > * "@column": "aW5mbzpwYXNzd29yZA=="* > > } > > ], > > "@key": "VGhlUmVhbE1U" > > } > > ] > > }' > > > > The log shows: > > > > 12/06/03 02:46:22 DEBUG rest.RowResource: PUT > >> http://localhost:9999/users/TheRealMT/info:password > > 12/06/03 02:46:22 DEBUG rest.RowResource: PUT > > > {"totalColumns":1,"families":{"info":[{"timestamp":9223372036854775807,"qualifier":"password", > > *"vlen":0*}]},"row":"TheRealMT"} > > See > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2475?focusedCommentId=13288259&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13288259 > > and > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2475?focusedCommentId=13288265&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13288265 > > Perhaps it's worth proceeding even though the JSON input and output of > HBase REST will most likely change?
