How to use hbase to manage binary data.

Hi,
  In my application, there are millions of small binary files and I try to
manage them in hbase.
How can I store them in binary format?
  Thanks.

All data written into HBase cells is byte arrays. Maybe make a single  
column family called data, then set and retrieve "data:" for rows  
named after the file path.

I would recommend direct store into cell. Using an column qualifiers,
you also can store the file attributes and informations as a file
header writing.
