Sean Busbey created ACCUMULO-2445:
-------------------------------------
Summary: API should use collection-of-bytes representation instead
of Text
Key: ACCUMULO-2445
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2445
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client
Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.6.0
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Fix For: 1.7.0
Right now we use Text as a container for bytes rather than as a UTF8
representation of a string. This results in some gymnastics when people wish to
use byte sequences that are not valid UTF8 (see ACCUMULO-2437).
We should use some representation of plain bytes (ideally byte[] or ByteBuffer)
and deprecate the use of Text so we can remove it later.
