Why not write your own filter class which you can initialize with a set of keys to search for. The HTable on the client side will split the keys based on row keys so it will be sent to the right regions. There your filter can utilize SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT Return Code to see efficiently on those set of key values This will ensure you do this search in one rpc call. Your filter can also transform the KeyValue so that only the row keys are returned
