                 Key: HBASE-605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-605
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: client, regionserver
    Affects Versions: 0.2.0
            Reporter: Clint Morgan
            Priority: Minor


We would like to be able to scan though tables with results ordered by 
(deserialized) column values. This approach maintains an in-memory sorted set 
for each ordered-by column in each HStore. This allows us to iterate through 
the keys in column order, and to random reads on the key to get the full row.

Without the index, then we have to scan through all the rows to get the first 
result ordered by a column. Thus, when R is the number of rows in a table,  N 
is the number of ordered-by rows we want, and R >> N we can save a lot of work 
by not doing the full table scan.
