    Description

      We're now using incrementing binary row keys and to this point had only been doing small tests with them, never having actually had a table split.

      I'm still working through the logs but it seems that there's a problem somewhere with startKey and endKeys.

      Binary in general is not well supported (inconsistent in display in the logs, very odd rendering in the web ui, hard to interpret in the shell, etc..) Once we figure out these serious bugs we will spend some time trying to clean that up. But right now this makes things even harder to debug.

      The actual symptoms are that my import eventually started to throw (in the client and on the region server):

      org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.WrongRegionException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.WrongRegionException: Requested row out of range for HRegion sources,,1220546297947, startKey='', getEndKey()='
      �', row='c�'

      There are 3 regionservers, but this error only happens on one of them (while the other two always continue normally, allowing updates to this same table).

      The regionserver that this happens on is special for two reasons, one it is hosting the META table. And secondly it also hosts the first region in the table, startkey = ''. I'm unsure which is the cause, I have a clue leading to both.

      After about 15 minutes, the regionserver sees:

      Following this, insertion continues normally. This leads me to believe there's an issue with the META table memcache, but oddly the other regions of this table on other regionservers continue on fine.

      As for the hosting the first region of the table on this region server, it seems to be consistent that I get the row out of range errors when looking for a region with startkey = '', although there are 5 other regions on this RS.

      Will attach full logs from master and three RS. Also a couple screenshots showing weird behavior in listing the regions in the table.
