I need to be able to retrieve timestamps through the thrift interface
- after sending the query below this morning, I got my hands dirty &
looked into it properly. I've now implemented two thrift calls to
expose this information, which work for me.
Briefly, there is a Client.getCells() & Client.getCellsTs() which
mirror Client.getVer() & Client.getVerTs() - except instead of
returning a list of values, they return a list of HCells, which are
(timestamp, value) pairs.
I don't know if this API suits everyone, but it's what I need right now.
What should I do with the resulting patch? Should I attach it to eg
HBASE-697, or create a new issue?

From the mailing list last month:
In HBase-0.1.x, you cannot get the timestamps. In trunk (0.2.0) you
will.

I got several questions:
1) Can we retrieve the timestamp for a given version for a data
point in a column? I see in the documentation that HTable.get()
may return array of versions but I don't see how to get the
extract the timestamp for each version.
How do I do this in 0.2.0? Am I right in thinking this functionality
is not yet exposed through the thrift interface?
