Actually, they are correctly matched. After further investigation, it turns
out that the Row Key is printed out differently because it used binary
string representation (
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42353013/what-are-the-non-hex-characters-in-hbase-shell-rowkey
).
After converting them back to hex, you can see they are actually correctly
matched:
hbase(main):015:0>
Bytes.toHex(Bytes.toBytesBinary("\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x14\x27\x00\x07\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\xC7\xE5\x87"))
=> "fd000000000014270007fd00000000fdfd"
is indeed contained in:
hbase(main):016:0>
Bytes.toHex(Bytes.toBytesBinary("\x00\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x14'\x00\x07\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\xBC\xEA\x81")
)
=> "00fd000000000014270007fd00000000fdfd"
and
hbase(main):018:0>
Bytes.toHex(Bytes.toBytesBinary("\x00\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x14'\x00\x07\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00\xBC\xF3^"))
=> "00fd000000000014270007fd00000000fdfd5e"
