Hi, we have a table which when queried with more than one columkey for a row key (using addcolumn(colfamily, columkey)), returns cells which are not present. It returns a empty byte array as value for those cells. Using debugger we found the timestamp of those cells to *'OLDEST_TIMESTAMP'* and the type to be *'Minimum'*. These cells turns out to be fake cells, however when queried with only columnkey it doesn't return any cells. Please look into the following files and suggest some ways to rectify this problem. 1. HConstant.java 2. KeyValue.java 3. ScanQueryMatcher.java 4. StoreFileScanner.java
NOTE: We are not able to reproduce the same in other tables.
