Ionut Ignatescu commented on HBASE-6612:
----------------------------------------
I think it not about adding data types, it's more about adding SerDes support.
Behind a common model(interface), it should be support for any standard data
type: long, double, strings with different encoding, etc.
Also, in this way we could add support for any custom model(Ex: a table with a
composed key, where firsts 4 bytes are an integer value, next eight are a long
representing a date and the rest are a result of a hash function). In this way
is much more easier to perform operations using shell.

> Key: HBASE-6612
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6612
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: scripts, shell
> Affects Versions: 0.94.1
> Reporter: Ionut Ignatescu
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, if the row key or any column value is something different than a
> string, when a scan is performed via command line, the value extracted are
> not decoded to a human-readable format.
> It would be nice to have support to some standard data
> types(long,double,etc..) or to specify some custom decoders(this would be
> extremely useful for tables having composed keys).
