             Summary: [REST] RemoteTable must disable httpclient URI 
normalization
                 Key: HBASE-26904
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26904
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: REST
            Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
            Assignee: Andrew Kyle Purtell
             Fix For: 2.5.0, 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.4.12


There is a comment in our POM indicating we cannot upgrade httpclient, which is 
problematic. 

{noformat}
    <!-- Updating the httpclient will break hbase-rest. It writes out URLs with 
'//' in it                                                                      
                    
      especially when writing out 'no column families'. Later httpclients 
collapse the '//'                                                               
                          
      into single '/' as double-slash is not legal in an URL. Breaks 
#testDelete in                                                                  
                               
      TestRemoteTable. -->  
{noformat}

This behavior in httpclient manifests when URI normalization is enabled, which 
is the default. RemoteTable must disable it, Otherwise some required URI 
constructions for performing various actions against the REST gateway are 
impossible.

Contributors should only use RemoteTable for unit tests, but it may also be 
used by end users.
