[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (HBASE-1363) Can't use 'close region' when keys are binary

["Lars George (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1363?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12717678#action_12717678 ]

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

If no one objects and this is not resolved yet I would not mind looking into this. Issue is, how do I replicate this? How do I best get a region with a binary region name? Should I create a small test app that creates random rows using random, binary keys and values? 

I tried briefly if the shell would allow me to enter binary keys like so

{code} > put 't1', 'row1', 'f1:', 'test\x08' {code}

But when querying the table I see 

{code} value=test\\x08 {code}

How is this all supposed to work?

Also, what is the syntax then in the shell to disable such a region? Could someone post some examples? And - if available - test code too?

> maybe we should allow you to use an encoded name to close a region, or use binary escaping.
