Yes. It's very similar. Besides the scanner, i also need the same functionality in getRow because i also need a range based on a row key. I have checked the getRow implemention and found that while trying to get the data from the MapFile, it has the comparation:
key.matchesWithoutColumn(readkey) This statement will return the data older than the specified timestamps. I agree that there will be some big changes to the server side codes. Looking forward to that and hope i can help, :) Best regards. sishen On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 3:43 AM, stack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is HBASE-33 what you need? > St.Ack > > Dingding Ye wrote: >> >> For example, i store some urls in the table.
