Stargate returns XML instead of JSON?! about hbase-stargate

I cannot replicate this problem. Can you try again with the latest version of HBase (0.90.4)? I've updated the library to work with the newer version and I also replaced the HTTP client with Patron (instead of using net/http). Hopefully all the changes fixed your problem.

Please reopen this case if you're still having issues.

This is an old discussion, but the answer below might benefit others.

Short answer: Check whether the URL you are sending with your GET/POST request have only one sequence of '\r\n' characters in the end.

Longer answer: I found the behavior you descibe when sending an HTTP GET request using a URL that comes back from a POST request sent previously. For example, a POST is sent for Scanner creation, a URL is returned in the Location: field of the HTTP response.

As the response has '\r\n' at the end of each line of the HTTP message header. I was inadvertently using the value directly to send a GET request and appending another '\r\n' to the end of the GET line in the new header. So, the rest of the messages was skipped by the HBase REST server.

I hope it helps.
