---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to read more the other tickets. If you were going to CQL-i-size this 
scanner concept you could do it this way.
{code}
create function rolling_avg as 'com.whatever'
cql>start_scan select rolling_avg ( col ) as col1 from table where key in 'xyz' 
limit 1000
{code}
This would make a scanner with a range_size=1000;
This would return something like:

{code}
scanner_id, rolling_avg, status
54, 4.5,scanner_continue
{code}

Then you would call

{code} 
cql> next_scan 54
{code}

which world return

{code}
scanner_id, rolling_avg, status
54, 4.2, scanner_done
{code}

Hive handles this by asking the function to examine the input and determine the 
shape of the output.

>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>            Reporter: Edward Capriolo

> The BigTable white paper demonstrates the use of scanners to iterate over 
> rows and columns. 
> http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en/us/archive/bigtable-osdi06.pdf
> Because Cassandra does not have a primary sorting on row keys scanning over 
> ranges of row keys is less useful. 
> However we can use the scanner concept to operate on wide rows. For example 
> many times a user wishes to do some custom processing inside a row and does 
> not wish to carry the data across the network to do this processing. 
> I have already implemented thrift methods to compile dynamic groovy code into 
> Filters as well as some code that uses a Filter to page through and process 
> data on the server side.
> https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/cassandra/compare/apache:trunk...trunk
> The following is a working code snippet.
> {code}
>     @Test
>     public void test_scanner() throws Exception
>     {
>       ColumnParent cp = new ColumnParent();
>       cp.setColumn_family("Standard1");
>       ByteBuffer key = ByteBuffer.wrap("rscannerkey".getBytes());
>       for (char a='a'; a < 'g'; a++){
>         Column c1 = new Column();
>         c1.setName((a+"").getBytes());
>         c1.setValue(new byte [0]);
>         c1.setTimestamp(System.nanoTime());
>         server.insert(key, cp, c1, ConsistencyLevel.ONE);
>       }
>       
>       FilterDesc d = new FilterDesc();
>       d.setSpec("GROOVY_CLASS_LOADER");
>       d.setName("limit3");
>       d.setCode("import org.apache.cassandra.dht.* \n" +
>               "import org.apache.cassandra.thrift.* \n" +
>           "public class Limit3 implements SFilter { \n " +
>           "public FilterReturn filter(ColumnOrSuperColumn col, 
> List<ColumnOrSuperColumn> filtered) {\n"+
>           " filtered.add(col);\n"+
>           " return filtered.size()< 3 ? FilterReturn.FILTER_MORE : 
> FilterReturn.FILTER_DONE;\n"+
>           "} \n" +
>         "}\n");
>       server.create_filter(d);
>       
>       
>       ScannerResult res = server.create_scanner("Standard1", "limit3", key, 
> ByteBuffer.wrap("a".getBytes()));
>       Assert.assertEquals(3, res.results.size());
>     }
> {code}
> I am going to be working on this code over the next few weeks but I wanted to 
> get the concept our early so the design can see some criticism.
