We've been considering using hbase for some research tasks and were particularly interested in the versioning mechanism. Specifically, we thought about using the versioning as a way to get access to when things happened for a particular row as opposed to just what a cells value was at a point in time... in other words, look at the complete history of a cell. From looking through the API and code it appears we can do this if we are accessing specific rows (e.g. HTable.get), but when using a scanner (e.g. HTable.getScanner or in a map/reduce job) the complete history is not provided. Can anyone confirm this? or correct me if I am missing something
