I don't think trying to 'mimic' an RDBS table in HBase is a very good idea. They both are completely different from each other, both in design and usage. For example, In order to get the latest value for a given column you don't have to do anything extra. You just do a Get operation on the desired rowkey, and by default HBase always gives you the latest value.
You could probably have a composite rowkey consisting of the fields you are going to use most frequently during data retrieval. It's actually a bit difficult to suggest something substantial without proper information on your use case.
