(sorry for the damaged subject :))
Hey Jon, We have two column families. There are no filters and there's a full table scan. We're not skipping rows. I did see however a single time that we had one qualifier "fault" in the job counters (it was missing, and it wasn't supposed to be missing). However that was only once and it doesn't happen when we encounter missing rows. We're getting this behavior consistently although I couldn't figure a way to reproduce it. I'll try running multiple instances of the job in parallel to figure out if that would affect the outcome. I'll probably have to add more debugging for the affected rows and dig deeper. HBASE-2856 is a pretty large issue - do you think it could be related to what I'm seeing? If so it could help me reproduce it.
