Corey Nolet commented on ACCUMULO-2177: --------------------------------------- Agreed. I actually got this working today. I began with the FirstEntryInRowIterator and combined some of the batching from the WholeRowIterator ( providing methods for encoding/decoding the batched rows into the value). > A scan time iterator to return the first N entries encountered for each row > in the input range.

Nolet > Priority: Minor > Labels: iterators > > I have found this iterator extremely useful when it is important to run a > batch scan over a bunch of different ranges but guarantee that a predefined > number of results get returned for each row. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
