Bug#587120: hbase-bin: fails to create table with VERSIONS specified

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

Package: hbase-bin
Version: 0.20.4+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

In the help of hbase, I see:

hbase(main):002:0> help
HBASE SHELL COMMANDS:
<snip>
   Examples:
   hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
   hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1'}, {NAME => 'f2'}, {NAME => 'f3'}
   hbase> # The above in shorthand would be the following:
   hbase> create 't1', 'f1', 'f2', 'f3'
   hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 1, TTL => 2592000, \
     BLOCKCACHE => true}
<snip>

So I try to copy-paste the first example:

hbase(main):017:0> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
TypeError: cannot convert instance of class
org.jruby.java.proxies.ConcreteJavaProxy to int

It should have created this table as instructed instead of showing me a
TypeError.
