equivalent class for HBase Bytes ?

Hbase has a handy Bytes class that can help in creating row-keys
http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/util/Bytes.html

is there an equivalent utility class in Accumulo?

thanks!

Hi Sujee,

I don't think there's a direct equivalent.

For the typed methods in Bytes, you could look at the Lexicoder 
implementations in Accumulo (accumulo-core module, 
org.apache.accumulo.core.client.lexicoder package in 1.6.0). The 
Lexicoders are also nice because they preserve correct sort order 
(didn't look at the implementation of Bytes to see how they work).

There's a StringUtil and TextUtil class in o.a.a.c.util that may also 
have some use for you.
