I'm trying out Hbase Stargate as a REST server that's bundled with my Hbase installation. It's simple to get up and running, but I'm wondering how to view actual row data? When I perform a GET request in my REST client, I am returned with scrambled values:
GET localhost:8282/article/row1/

I did reference the WIKI which also shows examples with scrambled results: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate#A5, but I cannot find any information on how to decode it.
Thanks!
One way to decode your result is by using the base64 function from your shell. eg.
echo "cm93MQ==" | base64 -d
