stack updated HBASE-2035: ------------------------- Attachment: 2035.patch Patch that makes the shell do binary as hex. I tried Dave's combos above and it seems to do right thing. I'll just commit. > Binary values are formatted wrong in shell > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-2035 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2035 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.2 > Reporter: Dave Latham > Assignee: stack > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.20.3, 0.21.0 > > Attachments: 2035.patch > > > Binary values in the shell don't seem to be formatted correctly. For example: > {code} > hbase(main):007:0> put 't1', 'r1', 'f1:q1', "\x91", 1000 > 0 row(s) in 0.0160 seconds > hbase(main):008:0> scan 't1' > ROW COLUMN+CELL > r1 column=f1:q1, timestamp=1260417826655, > value=\357\277\275 > 1 row(s) in 0.1090 seconds > {code} > In this case we insert a single byte (double quotes needed for it to > interpret the hex value correctly), but when formatted, it appears as 3 bytes > in octal. > The same thing happens when the data is inserted via the Java api. For > example, this code: > {code} > HTableDescriptor tableDesc = new HTableDescriptor("t2"); > tableDesc.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor("f1")); > HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(new HBaseConfiguration()); > admin.createTable(tableDesc); > HTable table = new HTable("t2"); > Put put = new Put(Bytes.toBytes("r1")); > put.add(Bytes.toBytes("f1"), Bytes.toBytes("q1"), new byte[] {(byte) 0x91}); > table.put(put); > Result result = table.get(new Get(Bytes.toBytes("r1"))); > System.out.println(Bytes.toStringBinary(result.raw()[0].getValue())); > {code} > Prints out {{\x91}} > And then accessing via shell gives: > {code} > hbase(main):009:0> scan 't2' > ROW COLUMN+CELL > r1 column=f1:q1, timestamp=1260418531959, > value=\357\277\275 > 1 row(s) in 0.1100 seconds > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
