Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3488:
-------------------------------

This JIRA was filed as improvement. We expect different values to co-exist 
(through versions) for the same row key in our table.

In RowCounter, I see:
{code}
    Scan scan = new Scan();
{code}
This ctor assigns 1 to maxVersions.

It is desirable to assign other value as maxVersions so that we know the 
correct number of rows in the table.

Description of FirstKeyOnlyFilter usage above holds.

> Allow RowCounter to retrieve multiple versions of rows

> Currently RowCounter only retrieves latest version for each row.
> Some applications would store multiple versions for the same row.
> RowCounter should accept a new parameter for the number of versions to return.
> Scan object would be configured with version parameter.
> Then the following API should be called:
> {code}
>   public NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<Long, 
> byte[]>>> getMap() {
> {code}
