Duo Zhang created HBASE-17168: --------------------------------- Summary: Use a cell as the start point of a scan internally Key: HBASE-17168 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17168 Project: HBase Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Duo Zhang
Mainly for restart a scan when error. For now, the logic for reverse scan is not stable. You can see the ConnectionUtils.createClosestRowBefore. we just append some 0xFF to the end of a key. This works for most time but theoretically we could have a row between the given row and the 'closest row before'. So here I propose we use a cell as the start point of a scan internally as we can use createFirstOnRow or createLastOnRow to bettr control the restart point. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
