Thanks Ram.

So, you mean that there is no harm in using  HTable#getRegionsInRange in
the application code.

HTable#getRegionsInRange returned single entry for all my region start key
and end key. i need to explore more on this.

"If you know the table region's start and end keys you could create
parallel scans in your application code."  - is there any way to scan a
region in the application code other than the one i put in the original
email ?

"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"
 - Agree. i am dynamically determining the region start key and end key
before initiating scan operations for every initial load.

Thanks.
