title: Hbase Stargate returns scrambled values
body: <p>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:</p>
  
  <p><strong>GET localhost:8282/article/row1/</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt;
  &lt;CellSet&gt;
  &lt;Row key="cm93MQ=="&gt;

  <p>I did reference the WIKI which also shows examples with scrambled results: <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate#A5" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate#A5</a>, but I cannot find any information on how to decode it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
