Michael Berman commented on ACCUMULO-1471:
------------------------------------------
Ahh ok, so I guess my misunderstanding was the assumption that seek() actually
specifies the range of possible results from the iterator, rather than it just
being a hint that different iterators will respect to different degrees (and
generally, you might get back results that are outside the range specified).
So if you actually want your range to be enforced, you need to specifically
ensure there's an iterator in your stack that is known to be strict.
Definitely seems like this could use some more doc.
