Thus a request for the values of all columns in the row "com.cnn.www" if no timestamp is specified would be: the value of ''"contents:"'' from time stamp t6, the value of ''"anchor:cnnsi.com"'' from time stamp t9, the value of ''"anchor:my.look.ca"'' from time stamp t8 and the value of ''"mime:"'' from time stamp t6. - [[Anchor(regions)]] === Regions (Row Ranges) === To an application, a table appears to be a list of tuples sorted by row key ascending, column name ascending and timestamp descending. Physically, tables are broken up into row ranges called ''regions''. Each row range contains rows from start-key (inclusive) to end-key (exclusive). A set of regions, sorted appropriately, forms an entire table. Row range identified by the table name and start-key.
