Bryan Duxbury commented on HADOOP-2249: --------------------------------------- It seems like after HADOOP-1550 all that really needs to be done to accomplish getRowTimestamps is to consume HRegion.getKeys cleverly. I think we should support: {code} /** * returns descending list of all row timestamps */ long[] getRowTimestamps(Text row); {code} @Edward - what would getVersions do? When would you want to know what the versions of a particular column and not the entire row? > [hbase] Add means of getting the timestamps for all cell versions: e.g. long > [] getVersions(row, column) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2249 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2249 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/hbase > Reporter: stack > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > Should be means of asking hbase for list of all the timestamps associated > with a particular cell.
