Hi Jean, My bad. I gave a wrong illustration. This is the query is was trying on my composite key: hbase(main):017:0> scan 'CAR_ARCHIVE' , {COLUMNS=>'A', STARTROW => '110\x00' , LIMIT=>1} ROW COLUMN+CELL
12\x0010123\x0019XFB2F56CE026679\x00\x80\x00\x00\x0 column=A:BODYSTYLE, timestamp=1432899595317, value=SEDAN 0 12\x0010123\x0019XFB2F56CE026679\x00\x80\x00\x00\x0 column=A:BODYSTYLESLUG, timestamp=1432899595317, value=sedan. I do have this rowkey: 110\x0033078\x001C4AJWAG0CL260823\x00\x80\x00\x00 So, i was expecting to get that row. Solution: scan 'CAR_ARCHIVE' , {COLUMNS=>'A', STARTROW => "110\x00" , LIMIT=>1} I dont really know what's the difference between single quotes and double quotes in startrow. Can anyone explain? Also, It would help others, if it can be documented somewhere.
