> I'm no longer sure about the expected behavior when using an empty row key (e.g. a 0-byte long byte array).  I assumed that this was a legitimate row key, just like having an empty column qualifier is allowed.  But it seems that the RegionServer considers the empty row key to be whatever the first row key is.

> This isn't a parsing problem with the command-line of the shell.  I can reproduce this behavior both with plain Java code and with my asynchbase client.
> Since I don't actually have a row with an empty row key, I expected that the first {{get}} would return nothing.
