Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-7621:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for pointing out these mismatched idioms. RemoteHTable was contributed
primarily to aid unit tests. We should fix these issues with it and/or move it
into the tests package.
We should choose one of toStringBinary hex escapes or URL encoding. The latter
seems less likely to surprise.
> REST server doesn't support binary row keys

> Key: HBASE-7621
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7621
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: REST
> Affects Versions: 0.94.0
> Reporter: Craig Muchinsky
>
> The REST server doesn't seem to support using binary (MD5 for example) row
> keys. I believe the root cause of this is the use of Bytes.toBytes() in the
> RowSpec.parseRowKeys() method. Based on the use of Bytes.toStringBinary()
> within RemoteHTable.buildRowSpec(), I believe the converse function
> Bytes.toBytesBinary() should be used for row key parsing in
> RowSpec.parseRowKeys().
> I also noticed that the RemoteHTable.buildRowSpec() method isn't URL encoding
> the row key, which is a mismatch to the logic in RowSpec.parseRowKeys() which
> performs URL decoding for both the start and stop row keys.
