I'd like to suggest a convenience method on Result for getting the timestamp of
a value if it hasn't already been suggested before.
Getting the value is easy from a Result instance...
byte b[] = r.getValue( Bytes.toBytes("family"),
Bytes.toBytes("qualifier") );
... but getting the timestamp from KeyValue is a little tedious...
KeyValue kv[] = r.raw();
for (int j = 0; j < kv.length; j++) {
String col = Bytes.toString( kv[j].getColumn() ) );
// make sure you get the timestamp from the right column, etc etc.
long ll = kv[j].getTimestamp();
(etc...)
Is it reasonable to have something like...
long = r.getTimestamp( family, qualifier );
