Everything in hbase is stored as a binary array of data and it is up to the application to
understand that data. In php strings are effectively binary arrays of bytes. So to store other
types of data I would look at pack and unpack to produce binary int, longs, doubles, etc.
If you want to If only php is talking to hbase you could use serialize and unserialize to store
whatever data you want--I wouldn't as I would want a more universal format. Or json_encode and
json_decode if you want to store json in hbase.

HI,
we met a problem of php visiting Hbase via thrift. we can access hbase via php.
But it looks php can only work correct with String. As long as the data stored

All
value returned is unreadable.
Any ideas for this problem?
Thanks!
