`The point here is when do you want to do this? In normal single read/write path, we just need to locate a single region. And for scanning, we need to locate to the next region when the current region is done, or for reverse scan we need to locate to the previous region. We do not need to get the location of a region and then go to the next region.` This makes sense. A catalogjanitor or scp or hbck2 doing a visit to each row would not go via this interface. It would be done internal to the master (i guess). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
