That's not possible with HBase today. The simplest thing may be to set your Scan time range to include both today's and yesterday's data and then filter down to only the data you want inside your map task. Other possibilities would be creating a custom filter to do the filtering on the server side or even changing your input format or map task to run two concurrent scans with different familes/time ranges and merging the results.
Being able to specify different time ranges for different column families is something I'd like to do as well. Perhaps we'll get that into HBase at some point.
