>                 Key: HBASE-6850
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6850
>             Project: HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Client, REST
>    Affects Versions: 0.94.1
>            Reporter: Jonathan Leech
>            Priority: Major

> - It is my understanding that there is one and only one hbase jar, which includes org.apache.hadoop.hbase.rest.provider.producer.PlainTextMessageBodyProducer, which is only used in the REST / jersey server-side implementation.
> - PlainTextMessageBodyProducer claims to provide a text/plain output for absolutely any input by calling .toString() on it.
> - If I am a client to HBase, and I do my own REST / jersey, including my own custom text/plain writing, by default the jersey stack finds PlainTextMessageBodyProducer and uses it instead of mine.
> I could be off base here; so please feel free to change this from a Bug to a Feature Request or close it, especially if my assumptions are wrong.
> Workaround: set init-param of com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages to limit it to my own packages.
> Recommended fix: 
> - provide a client jar and / or a maven pom for hbase-client which doesn't include server-side hbase code or dependencies.
> and / or 
> - don't return true from isWriteable() for every possible input, or create a different custom mime type that other users of the API might be also using, and if possible map text/plain to that type in the server.
