----------------------------------
Summary: support data type for get/scan in hbase shell
Key: HBASE-10071
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10071
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Client
Affects Versions: 0.94.14
Reporter: cuijianwei
Users tend to run hbase shell to query hbase quickly. The result will be shown
as binary format which may not look clear enough when users write columns using
specified types, such as long/int/short. Therefore, it may be helpful if the
results could be shown as specified format. We make a patch to extend get/scan
in hbase shell in which user could specify the data type in get/scan for each
column as:
{code}
scan 'table', {COLUMNS=>['CF:QF:long']}
get 'table', 'r0', {COLUMN=>'CF:QF:long'}
{code}
Then, the result will be shown as Long type. The result of above get will be:
{code}
COLUMN CELL
CF:QF timestamp=24311261, value=24311229
{code}
This extended format is compatible with previous format, if users do not
specify the data type, the command will also work and output binary format.
