Lars George commented on HBASE-1363:
------------------------------------
No, that is fine, I also linked HBASE-1131 here too.
So I found the issue, it is the use of the single quotes! Use double quotes and
it works just fine with either hex notation

Now is there a side effect to recommending this? Are there other conversions
taking place that would cause problems? Should we simply have examples and a
proper help page explaining to use single quotes for literal strings and double
quotes if you want to use binary notation? This is similar to the Bash handling
strings and expansions. Should be a familiar thing.
Otherwise the shell outputs it OK and with the double quotes also accepts it
OK. Anything else that is not right shell and binary strings wise? Otherwise
this is a non-patch zero-change "fix", a.k.a. a feature.
