Hi Kevin -

I pushed a fix for this.
Can you try a build from master?

My HBase deployment went south and I ended up flip flopping on the
HBaseDispatch code - so not entirely sure it is addressed fully yet.

it is not encoded anymore.

Hopefully it will work - since the audit log that you referenced in your
original description does not have the double slash, I am hopeful.

Thanks,

--larry
