Hey Lars, Thanks for taking a look. HIVE-1634 introduced new storage type for hbase tables, namely binary. Since, bug manifests itself only for binary storage type. This doesnt count as a regression since functionality for binary storage itself was added through HIVE-1634. Since, this is not a regression of existing functionality, it won't count as a blocker for 0.9 release.
Nonetheless, other folks have found other problems in RC0, so I have to respin. Thus, I will consider HIVE-2958 fix for RC1.
