In case you are using binary keys or values and need to enter them into the
shell then use double-quotes to make use of hexadecimal or octal notations,
for example:
hbase> get 't1', "key\\x03\\x3f\\xcd"
hbase> get 't1', "key\\003\\023\\011"
hbase> put 't1', "test\\xef\\xff", 'f1:', "\\x01\\x33\\x40"
Using the double-quote notation you can directly use the values output by the
shell for example during a "scan" call.
