I'd imagine that tens of thousands of versions currently would suffer in same manner as tens of thousands of columns -- hbase running increasingly slower as count went up, at least until we address HBASE-867<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-867> "If millions of columns in a column family, hbase scanner won't come up<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-867> " St.Ack
