Stargate - feeding numerics as byte arrays

[Prashanth Gedde <pr...@yahoo.com>]

I know that Stargate expects the values to be inserted into a HBase table to be base64 encoded.

How do I base64 encode numerical values like integer and floats before forming the JSON payload for HTTP PUT? I expect the numerics to be written as byte arrays.

Thanks

Not sure if I got you right. Is this [1] what you are looking for? or this
[2] ?

[1]
http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/util/Bytes.html#toBytes(int)

[2]
