------------------------------

Thanks Lars.  Here is one way to get table of binary keys:

     byte [] b = new byte[10];
     int d = Math.abs(number);
     for (int i = b.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
-      b[i] = (byte)((d % 10) + '0');
+      b[i] = (byte)((d % 10));
       d /= 10;
     }
     return b;
{code}

This has PerformanceEvaluation write tables with binary keys.  To run PE, do: 
./bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation  This dumps out 
options.  Do something like option 'sequentialWrite 1' as an option.  Should 
make a table of 5 or 6 regions.  Should be good to experiment with.
