That’s true for the row. For the other parts of the key, it can be done under the right circumstances.

I guess it's bad to modify keys within an iterator.

What I suspect is happening is that the scanner code sees a key beyond the range’s end key and stops. In general you can’t transform rows in keys for this reason, and you might have issues even if you don’t transform the rows if the keys end up out of order – see the comments in TransformingIterator.

From: Yamini Joshi [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 1:26 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Modify Keys within iterator Hello Everyone! I am trying to write an iterator to modify keys within a table (at scan). My use case is to select a few records that match a certain criterion and then modify them within the iterator(using the following class) for some other succeeding iterator/combiner. The problem is that this iterator does return any records/keys. I added some primitive prints and found that the keys (this.key) is changed but the output of iterator is nothing. I'd appreciate if someone could give me any insight. I'm sure I'm making a teeny tiny mistake somewhere.
