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

> 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}
