> HBase scanner interface expects server to perform scan of the cells from 
> HFile or Block cache and return consistent data i.e. rowkey of the cells 
> returned should stay in the range of the scan boundaries. When a region moves 
> and scanner needs reset, or if the current row is too large and the server 
> returns partial row, the subsequent scanner#next is supposed to return 
> remaining cells. When this happens, cell rowkeys returned by servers i.e. any 
> coprocessors is expected to be in the scan boundary range so that server can 
> reliably perform its validation and return remaining cells as expected.
> Phoenix client initiates serial or parallel scans from the aggregators based 
> on the region boundaries and the scan boundaries are sometimes adjusted based 
> on where optimizer provided key ranges, to include tenant boundaries, salt 
> boundaries etc. After the client opens the scanner and performs scan 
> operation, some of the coprocs return invalid rowkey for the following cases:
>  # Grouped aggregate queries
>  # Some Ungrouped aggregate queries
>  # Offset queries
>  # Dummy cells returned with empty rowkey
>  # Update statistics queries
>  # Uncovered Index queries
>  # Ordered results at server side
>  # ORDER BY DESC on rowkey
>  # Global Index read-repair
>  # Paging region scanner with HBase scanner reopen
>  # ORDER BY on non-pk column(s) with/without paging
>  # GROUP BY on non-pk column(s) with/without paging
> Since many of these cases return reserved rowkeys, they are likely not going 
> to match scan or region boundaries. It has potential to cause data integrity 
> issues in certain scenarios as explained above. Empty rowkey returned by 
> server can be treated as end of the region scan by HBase client.
> With the paging feature enabled, if the page size is kept low, we have higher 
> chances of scanners returning dummy cell, resulting in increased num of RPC 
> calls for better latency and timeouts. We should return only valid rowkey in 
> the scan range for all the cases where we perform above mentioned operations 
> like complex aggregate or offset queries etc.
