Brian Johnson commented on PIG-4550: ------------------------------------ A rowkey doesn't have a timestamp, it's part of the storage for each cell storage. Each cell has the rowkey, column family, column, value and version/timestamp. > HBaseStorage, return timestamp of rowKey stored in HBase > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-4550 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4550 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Environment: HBaseStorage, HBase > Reporter: Sergey > Assignee: Sergey > Priority: Minor > > HBase implicitly stores timestamp for each cell. Sometimes this feature is > used to track historical data. I would like to provide option for > HBaseStorage which would return cell timestamp in milliseconds > Interface: > add option "withTimestamp" to HBaseStorage constructor > Implementation: > add timestamp:long as last element of tuple. > RFC. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
