Ah, cool, that worked just fine. Missed this, because the scan
documentation doesn't contain any references to VERSION:
hbase(main):046:0> help 'scan'
Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
specifications. Scanner specifications may include one or more of:
TIMERANGE, FILTER, LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, MAXLENGTH,
or COLUMNS, CACHE
