ryan rawson updated HBASE-1330:
-------------------------------

    Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

this is a typical META bug - using the normal Bytes comparator to compare the 
'row' section causes problems when the first byte is '\0'.  So if you have keys 
that start with a value < ',', most common in the binary key case (when the 
first byte is '\0'), you end up with incorrect storing saying things like:

table,,1234  > table,\0,1234

which is not correct.  since [] < '\0'.


> binary keys broken on trunk

> The symptom is commits fail with 'table not found' exception - even though 
> the table does in fact exist!
> Digging in a little with debug logs indicate that getClosestRowBefore() is 
> returning NULL, which for a table that exists should never be!  A key always 
> falls into a region - either the first or the last one at the very least.
