Support reverse Scan
--------------------
Key: HBASE-4811
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4811
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client
Affects Versions: 0.20.6
Reporter: John Carrino
All the documentation I find about HBase says that if you want forward and
reverse scans you should just build 2 tables and one be ascending and one
descending. Is there a fundamental reason that HBase only supports forward
Scan? It seems like a lot of extra space overhead and coding overhead (to keep
them in sync) to support 2 tables.
I am assuming this has been discussed before, but I can't find the discussions
anywhere about it or why it would be infeasible.
