how to get the last row inserted into a hbase table

[Ming]

Hi, all,

 

Is there a way to get the last row put/delete into a HBase table?

In other words, how can I tell the last time a HBase table is changed? I was
trying to check the HDFS file stats, but HBase has memstore, so that is not
a good way, and HFile location is internal to HBase.

 

My purpose is to quickly check the last modified timestamp for a given HBase
table.

 

Thanks,

Ming
