HBase shell split command does not split at key specified.

Hi, all.

When I tried to do a manual region split from HBase shell, I found that
split command acts incorrectly with hex split keys.

For example, I executed

hbase(main):003:0> split 'tsdb', "\x00\x00\xC3"

but table 'tsdb' actually split at "\x00\x00\xEF\xBF\xBD"

I'm running Hbase 0.94.8, r1485407, both server-side and client-side.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
