ryan rawson commented on HBASE-1937: ------------------------------------ I have a proposal of an enhanced API here: HBASE-3073 which covers this case by allowing people to get KeyValue for a column w/o dealing with the raw() interface directly. > Add convenience method to Result for obtaining the timestamp of a column > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-1937 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1937 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Jonathan Gray > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.90.0 > > > From Doug Meil on list: > {quote} > I'd like to suggest a convenience method on Result for getting the timestamp > of a value if it hasn't already been suggested before. > Getting the value is easy from a Result instance... > byte b[] = r.getValue( Bytes.toBytes("family"), > Bytes.toBytes("qualifier") ); > ... but getting the timestamp from KeyValue is a little tedious... > KeyValue kv[] = r.raw(); > for (int j = 0; j < kv.length; j++) { > String col = Bytes.toString( kv[j].getColumn() ) ); > // make sure you get the timestamp from the right column, etc etc. > long ll = kv[j].getTimestamp(); > (etc...) > Is it reasonable to have something like... > long = r.getTimestamp( family, qualifier ); > {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
