Hi Anil, HBase directly does not provide parallel scans. If you know the table region's start and end keys you could create parallel scans in your application code.
In the above code snippet, the intent is right - you get the required regions and can issue parallel scans from your app. One thing to watch out is that if there is a split in the region then this start and end row may change so in that case it is better you try to get the regions every time before you issue a scan. Does that make sense to you?
