Description

There is no way to set charset (ISO-8859-1 as recommended) to RegexStringComparator through the REST call what make RegexString filter unusable for the row key made of arbitrary bytes. It also would be helpful to be able to pass RegexStringComparator.EngineType or configure HBase REST with default engine.

This is major blocker in our business case.

ScannerModel.java

    case RegexStringComparator:
        comparator = new RegexStringComparator(value);
