Add endRow parameter to HClient#obtainScanner
---------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1439
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1439
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/hbase
Reporter: stack
Assignee: stack
Priority: Minor
Currently the HClient#obtainScanner looks like this:
{code}
public synchronized HScannerInterface obtainScanner(Text[] columns, Text
startRow) throws IOException;
{code}
Add an overload that allows specification of endRow:
{code}
public synchronized HScannerInterface obtainScanner(Text[] columns, Text
startRow, Text endRow) throws IOException;
{code}
Use Case: Table contains the whole web. Client just wants to scan google's
pages. Currently, client could cut off the scanner as soon as the row key
leaves the google domain but cleaner if {{HScannerInterface#next()}} returns
false
