""" This example demonstrates how to put a single value in a cell in HBase via
the REST interface, then GET it back and print it back. Finally we delete it
and assert that we get a 404 when trying to get it again.

This example uses rest_client.py to wrap the base64 encoding and to simplify
creating the table if it doesn't exist
