ryan rawson commented on HBASE-3247:
------------------------------------
why can't timestamp based scanning do this? Is it because of the
missing deletes? Could there be a scan option to give more raw data?
Not really a new API, but still kind of a half API.
> Changes API: API for pulling edits from HBase

> Talking to Shay from Elastic Search, he was asking where the Changes API is
> in HBase. Talking more -- there was a bit of beer involved so apologize up
> front -- he wants to be able to bootstrap an index and thereafter ask HBase
> for changes since time t. We thought he could tie into the replication
> stream, but rather he wants to be able to pull rather than have it pushed to
> him (in case he crashes, etc. so on recovery he can start pulling again from
> last good edit received). He could do the bootstrap with a Scan.
> Thereafter, requests to pull from hbase would pass a marker of some sort.
> HBase would then give out edits that came in after this marker, in batches,
> along with an updated marker.
