stack commented on HBASE-4115:
------------------------------
Is this right Ryan? I thought the UI already escaped region names that
comprised binary data? It used to be the case -- perhaps since broken -- where
you could copy what was into the UI and then as long as you double-quoted it,
it'd work. Here is snippet from shell help:
{code}
If you are using binary keys or values and need to enter them in the shell, use
double-quote'd hexadecimal representation. For example:
hbase> get 't1', "key\x03\x3f\xcd"
hbase> get 't1', "key\003\023\011"
hbase> put 't1', "test\xef\xff", 'f1:', "\x01\x33\x40"
{code}
hbck should print out escaped binary but I would not be surprised if it did
not... so here you should be able to copy it into shell and double-quote it and
it'd work (If you single-quote it, the shell does not interpret the bytes IIRC).
So you are pasting actual binary data into the shell?
Thanks.

> Reporter: Ryan Brush
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: admin.patch

>
> When using the hbase shell assign and unassign commands, we should be able to
> copy region names from the hbck utility or the web page hosted by the HMaster
> process. But if these names have encoded binary data, they region name won't
> match and the command will fail.
> This is easily fixed by using Bytes.toBytesBinary on the region name in these
> commands rather than the raw Bytes.ToBytes.
