Convert Hbase Values from Bytes to Actual Strings

[Usman Ali]

Hi,
     When we  query an Hbase table  like "select * from
hbasePluginName.`tableName`" using Restful APIs, the json it returns
contains  values in the form of bytes. I know that all the values in my
hbase table were originally of String form but I do not know exact schema
(column families and column names) of my table. How can I convert those
bytes stored in strings back to my original strings.

Thanks.
