                 Key: HBASE-3498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3498
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: ryan rawson
            Assignee: ryan rawson
             Fix For: 0.92.0


We may need a new memstore datastructure. Much has been written about the 
concurrency and speed and cpu usage, but there are new things that were brought 
to light with HBASE-2856. 

Specifically we need a memstore scanner that serves up to the moment reads, 
with a row-level completeness. Specifically after a memstore scanner goes past 
the end of a row, it should return some kind of 'end of row' token which the 
StoreScanner should trigger on to know it's at the end of the row. The next 
call to memstore scanner.next() should return the _very next available row from 
the start of that row_ at _the time it's requested_.

It should specifically NOT:
- return everything but the first column
- skip a row that was inserted _after_ the previous next() was completed
