Hi!
As far as I understand you are talking about the secondary indexes. Yes,
they can be used to quickly get the rowkey by a value in the indexed column.

Hi all ,
I have gone through the IndexedTableAdmin classes in Hbase 0.19.3 API .. I
have seen some methods used to create an Indexed Table (on some column).. I
have some doubts regarding the same ...
1) Are these somewhat similar to Hash indexes(in RDBMS) where i can easily
lookup a column value and find it's corresponding rowkey(s)
2) Can i find any performance gain when i use IndexedTable to search for a
paritcular column value .. instead of scanning an entire normal HTable ..
Kindly clarify my doubts
Thanks in advance
