Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-880:
--------------------------------------

Hi Erik,

I think there are two issues with your use case, right? The first is you need 
some filters that do not currently exist that provide the topmost column 
filtering behavior that you want. The second issue is the modification to 
getRow() so it behaves kind of like a column scanner. If there are suitable 
filters available would it would be possible to use the scanner interface with 
a combination filter such as:

{code}
(and
    (allow-n-rows 1)
    (and
         (match-column "foo:")
         (allow-n-columns 100)
    )
)
{code}

to do what you want?

> The current API does not scale very well. For each new feature, we have to 
> add many methods to take care of all the overloads. Also, the need to batch 
> row operations (gets, inserts, deletes) implies that we have to manage some 
> "entities" like we are able to do with BatchUpdate but not with the other 
> operations. The RowLock should be an attribute of such an entity.
> The scope of this jira is only to replace current API with another 
> feature-compatible one, other methods will be added in other issues.
