--------------------------------------
Summary: REST server doesn't support binary row keys
Key: HBASE-7621
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7621
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: REST
Affects Versions: 0.94.0
Reporter: Craig Muchinsky
The REST server doesn't seem to support using binary (MD5 for example) row
keys. I believe the root cause of this is the use of Bytes.toBytes() in the
RowSpec.parseRowKeys() method. Based on the use of Bytes.toStringBinary()
within RemoteHTable.buildRowSpec(), I believe the converse function
Bytes.toBytesBinary() should be used for row key parsing in
RowSpec.parseRowKeys().
I also noticed that the RemoteHTable.buildRowSpec() method isn't URL encoding
the row key, which is a mismatch to the logic in RowSpec.parseRowKeys() which
performs URL decoding for both the start and stop row keys.
