Hi Weishung,

Since you stored the value as a long rather than String. You need to
convert the byte [] of value into a Long. You can use the  following method
to convert byte[] into long.
long org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes<eclipse-javadoc:%E2%98%82=3Dhbase_r=
esteasy/C:%5C/Users%5C/agupta5%5C/.m2%5C/repository%5C/org%5C/apache%5C/hba=
se%5C/hbase%5C/0.92.1-cdh4.0.1%5C/hbase-0.92.1-cdh4.0.1.jar%3Corg.apache.ha=
doop.hbase.util(Bytes.class%E2%98%83Bytes>
.toLong(byte[] bytes)

HTH,
Anil Gupta
