Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4160:
------------------------------------
Bytes.toBytes assumes the input is UTF8, so if you pass it something like
\xff\xfe, you end up with the UTF8 encoding of those high-ascii characters.
Ruby strings are apparently just byte arrays, so ruby's to_java_bytes function
just goes straight to a byte array without any encoding complications. This
makes sense since our keys are just bytes, not Strings.
> HBase shell move and online may be unusable if region name or server includes
> binary-encoded data

> Key: HBASE-4160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4160
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh
> Priority: Minor

> Similar to HBASE-4115, this entails a conversion of
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.utils.Bytes.toBytes to a to_java_bytes call in the
> 'move' and 'online' call.
