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.
