Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5520: -------------------------------------- Have been thinking a bit more about this. I think if we allow the caller just to pass a rowkey, and then enforce the we only seek forward this would be a great feature to have. Since we're operation at the level of a region scanner (where we think about regions, rather than stores) this would be the right abstraction too. Alternatively looking at the MemstoreScanner code, seeking backwards would just be a no-op, so that is another option. Sorry, didn't mean to be dis-encouraging before just cautious :) > Support reseek() at RegionScanner > --------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5520 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5520 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: regionserver > Affects Versions: 0.92.0 > Reporter: Anoop Sam John > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Fix For: 0.96.0 > > Attachments: HBASE-5520_1.patch, HBASE-5520_2.patch, > HBASE-5520_3.patch > > > reseek() is not supported currently at the RegionScanner level.
