Michael Miller commented on ACCUMULO-2445:
------------------------------------------
I spoke with [~ctubbsii] and figured it out. Fluo-bytes is WIP with the idea
of becoming a stand alone project but currently exists as a branch in his fork.
I was thinking we could make this change to the code in parallel with the new
API but looks like its probably not worth it right now.
> 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: Sub-task
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> 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.
