Does happybase officially support hbase 1.1.x & 1.2.x?

[DeoLeung]

I'm using happybase==1.0.0 & thriftpy==0.3.9 connecting to hbase=1.1.5

It worked fine at the beginning but recently I stuck with errors in issue:

Thriftpy/thriftpy#283

# start thrift server using default
/opt/hbase-1.1.5/bin/hbase start thrift

# create python connection using default
conn = happybase.Connection(host='xxx', port=9090)
table = conn.table('test_table')
table.scan(...)

# at some uncertain point
/python3.5/site-packages/happybase/table.py in scan(self, row_start, row_stop, row_prefix, columns, filter, timestamp, include_timestamp, batch_size, scan_batching, limit, sorted_columns)
    393                 items = self.connection.client.scannerGetList(
--> 394                     scan_id, how_many)
    395

/python3.5/site-packages/thriftpy/thrift.py in _req(self, _api, *args, **kwargs)
    197         if not getattr(result_cls, "oneway"):
--> 198             return self._recv(_api)
    199

/python3.5/site-packages/thriftpy/thrift.py in _recv(self, _api)
    214             self._iprot.read_message_end()
--> 215             raise x
    216         result = getattr(self._service, _api + "_result")()

<class 'str'>: (<class 'TypeError'>, TypeError('__str__ returned non-string (type bytes)',))

Would it possibly be version incompatible? as I saw compat=0.9.8 in Connection but no 1.x

[wbolster]

the compat flag is just for thrift api changes (it has been extended a bit over time), and should be upwards compatible.

the error you're seeing happens inside thriftpy, and is likely a bug in that library.
