  However, if no timestamp is supplied, the most recent value for a particular 
column would be returned and would also be the first one found since timestamps 
are stored in descending order. 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.

  === 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.
