> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 0.94.14
> Reporter: cuijianwei
> Assignee: Sean Busbey
> Fix For: 0.94.26
>
> Attachments: HBASE-10071-0.94-v1.patch

>
> 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.
