Hi All,

Is there anyway to scan a hbase table using thrift api with timestamp range?

AFAIK, currently thrift api is the ONLY way to access hbase from non-java
languages such as C++/Python/PHP/etc.. However, the thrift api seems
incomplete compared to native Java hbase client api.
E.g., org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Scan supports to retrieve columns
within a specific range of version timestamps, but there are no
corresponding function provided in thrift api. So there is no way to do
those stuffs in C++/Python/PHP/etc? Why there are such restrictions?

Best,
Hua
