> > What's the best way to do it? The htable interface doesn't have any

> It will be pretty easy to support an client side API addition in HRS. For
> memcache that would be containsKey() on the sorted maps. For disk, HStore
> could use getClosest() on the MapFile readers.
> boolean testRow(final byte [] row);
> boolean testRow(String row);
