   @knackjax Accumulo works with arbitrary byte arrays. If you want to store anything more complex than arbitrary bytes, you must encode them into a byte array somehow.
   
   The code you linked is auto-generated Thrift code. Thrift has a type system (https://thrift.apache.org/docs/types). Accumulo uses the `binary` type for this `value` field (see https://github.com/apache/accumulo-proxy/blob/5df2f8c5017e5a8395316d928828c10f59cbe8c2/src/main/thrift/proxy.thrift#L55). Based on your example and the code you linked, it appears that Thrift uses strings to represent this `binary`) type in python, so you will need to encode your complex objects into a python string.
