------------------------------------
[~stack] Thanks for your comment:). I go through the scan.rb in trunk. The way
to specify custom formatting by column is more general and easy to use. The
formatter can also be stipulated by custom class. Maybe, we can backport this
feature into 0.94?
> support data type for get/scan in hbase shell

> Key: HBASE-10071
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10071
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 0.94.14
> Reporter: cuijianwei
> Attachments: HBASE-10071-0.94-v1.patch

>
> Users tend to run hbase shell to query hbase quickly. The result will be
> shown as binary format which may not look clear enough when users write
> columns using specified types, such as long/int/short. Therefore, it may be
> helpful if the results could be shown as specified format. We make a patch to
> extend get/scan in hbase shell in which user could specify the data type in
> get/scan for each column as:
> {code}
> scan 'table', {COLUMNS=>['CF:QF:long']}
> get 'table', 'r0', {COLUMN=>'CF:QF:long'}
> {code}
> Then, the result will be shown as Long type. The result of above get will be:
> {code}
> COLUMN CELL
>
>
> CF:QF timestamp=24311261, value=24311229
> {code}
> This extended format is compatible with previous format, if users do not
> specify the data type, the command will also work and output binary format.
