That's it! I failed to look at all the method supplied by the Key object. Thanks to all...

Like John says, the Key is not just a row ID. See the "Data Model" section at http://accumulo.apache.org/1.4/user_manual/Accumulo_Design.html for a visual representation of a Key in Accumulo.

I'd like to have it return the entire row from the table, just like the scan operator does when using the Accumulo shell. What class/method should I use to do this? I'm not sure what you mean. Can you give an example of the behavior you're seeing and the behavior you want? Accumulo tables are (basically) big sorted maps of (Key, Value) pairs, where the Keys have a certain structure and native sort order. Scanners return some collection of such pairs.
