Ryan Brush commented on HBASE-4115:
-----------------------------------
The UI doesn't escape the names, but it looks like other methods (like get) do
invoke .to_java_bytes on such input strings. Assign and unassign were using
Bytes.toBinary for some reason. So to be more consistent a better fix for this
patch would be to use .to_java_bytes over Bytes.toBytesBinary.
I'll make sure this fixes the problem I saw and adjust the patch appropriately.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 0.90.2, 0.90.3
> 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.
