Yes, You're exactly right. I looked at the code in the Bytes util class and
thought about doing that but then just imported the dependency. I expect that
HBase users will use this Bytes class to decode the value when they interact
with the data through their client application. If there's a change to the
encoding/decoding scheme implemented in the Bytes class, our implementation
would need to be updated to reflect this change. That was my only concern for
including the logic rather than just leveraging the Bytes util.
