Description:
When I call `store.dump_shard_index', the result has non-ASCII characters in the result. It's returned directly from the `shard_ranges' table without any formatting. This causes an error during parsing in the Python XML-RPC client.

How to repeat:
Calling the API.

Suggested fix:
I'm guessing it might be better to return it base64 encoded.

Fixed as of the MySQL Fabric 1.5.0 release, and here's the changelog entry:

With Fabric, hash based shard mapping would return non-ASCII characters in
the result.

Thank you for the bug report.
