All,
I went to write some map/reduce code today that will use the 
AccumuloInputFormat to add records to Accumulo.  However, when I went to build 
my Mutation object, it quickly became apparent that Mutation only supports 
character based keys (Text and CharSequence).  Is there any way to write 
records to Accumulo in Map Reduce when column qualifiers or column families are 
binary data rather than char data?

Text is just a wrapper for a byte array.  You can put binary data in a Text.

Thanks,
