Thanks for the explanation! Bugs in the code are always a concern, but I
personally prefer to fix them rather than write more code that tries to work
around potential, unknown bugs in other code. (Working around known bugs is, of
course, part of the game.)
Sounds like we'll need to test the MapR-DB case for the conditions you
identified; that will tell is if the HBase solution (which seems to work now)
can also be applied to MapR DB.
