Image and Video data in HBASE

HI all ,

I have the data in the formats of '.jpg' and '.avi' .. I intend to store
them in HBase ... Because Hbase treats everything as a stream of Bytes ..
I think I need to convert them into Bytes .. But nothing in o.a.h.h.u.Bytes
seems to be helpful .. I think I need Bytes.toBytes() kinda function..
Is there any alternative ? Any suggestions or opinions ?

Thanks !

Hi bharath!
You can have at FileOutputStream, that might be a good match for you.

Hi Bharath,
 You can treat them as any normal file and read as bytes ??
