---------------------------------------

What version are you using? I see some Key constructors in the 1.7 branch that take byte[].

> In my company we use {{Key}} built directly from {{byte[]}} instead of {{Text}}. Currently {{Key}} has many constructors working with {{Text}} and only few working with {{byte[]}}. You can still use the {{Text}}-based constructor to create a {{Key}} from a {{byte[]}} by wrapping it into a {{Text}}, but this requires to box a {{byte[]}} into {{Text}} without any good reason.
> I propose to add the missing {{byte[]}}-based {{Key}} constructors, which are:
> {code:java}
> Key(byte[] row)
> Key(byte[] row, long ts)
> Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf)
> Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq)
> Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, byte[] cv)
> Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, long ts)
> Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, ColumnVisibility cv, long ts)
> {code}
> The new constructor should behave like the {{Text}}-based counterpart, for instance:
> {code:java}
> byte[] row = new byte[] {0};
> assertEquals(new Key(row), new Key(new Text(row)));
> {code}
