bq.      These start-end keys are used to locate the interested regions. Do you 
mean whole _table_? If so, it will be like setting 
HConstants.START_ROW/STOP_ROW which are essentially empty byte arrays.

bq.      This would be a bigger change, but maybe it would make sense to have 
the client pass a Scan object?  Then you could specify start/end row, time 
range, multiple column qualifiers, filter?

bq.      It's starting to look like we're duplicating most of these arguments 
when there's already a good way of passing them.  What do you think?

Yes, am wondering why it didn't occur to me before! As a matter of fact, we are 
creating a Scan object at region level. So, with passing the Scan object to the 
Aggregation client, it will call the appropriate HTable method (the existing 
one), but the CP's method will take the Scan object as a parameter, and let the 
client have its liberty. But it needs some code changes, like in validation 
stuff for one. 
(I was thinking that it was good to go and now there is so much room for 
improvement. Good stuff).

bq.  Summary
bq.  -------
bq.  
bq.  This patch provides reference implementation for aggregate function 
support through Coprocessor framework.
bq.  ColumnInterpreter interface allows client to specify how the value's byte 
array is interpreted.
bq.  Some of the thoughts are summarized at

bq.  
bq.  Himanshu Vashishtha started the work. I provided some review comments and 
some of the code.
