Thanks will check it out.   

Also if my key is a compound key and I do a scan on a  partial key range
will it work.  Meaning key is a concat  of  {a,b}  and my scan
specifies "get me all rows   between {a1,a2}.  Is this still as fast as
doing   {a1b1 , a2b2}

Subject: Re: Support for MultiGet / SQL In clause

Sriram,

Would a secondary index help you:
http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/r0.20.2/api/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/
client/tableindexed/package-summary.html#package_description
.

The index is stored in a separate table, but the index is managed for
you.

I don't think you can do an arbitrary "in" query, though.  If the keys
that
you want to include in the "in" are reasonably close neighbors, you
could do
a scan and skip ones that are uninteresting.  You could also try a batch
Get
by applying a separate patch, see
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1845.
