getLastIncrement() can miss some key-values

                 Key: HBASE-3396
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3396
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.90.0
            Reporter: Prakash Khemani
            Assignee: Jonathan Gray


In getLastIncrement() there is an assumption that memstore only scan will never 
return multiple versions of a kv

    // found everything we were looking for, done
    if (results.size() == expected) {
      return results;
    }


Based on this assumption the code does an early out after it finds the expected 
number of key-value pairs in the memstore. But what if there were multiple 
versions of the same kv returned by the memstore scan? I think it is possible 
when the memstore has a snapshot pending to be written out. A version of the 
key can be returned each from the online and from the snapshot memory.
