Eric Charles commented on HBASE-3729:
-------------------------------------
I applied 3729-v3.txt, and now:
hbase(main):001:0> get 'test', 'row1', { TIMERANGE => [0, 3000000000000],
VERSIONS => 4}
COLUMN CELL
cf:a timestamp=1301984853863, value=value2
cf:a timestamp=1301984830139, value=value1
2 row(s) in 0.4100 seconds
==> Great!
hbase(main):002:0> get 'test', 'row1', { TIMERANGE => [0, 3000000000000]}
COLUMN CELL
cf:a timestamp=1301984853863, value=value2
1 row(s) in 0.0620 seconds
==> If versions is not specified, it does not return the expected list.
I think an error message will be better suited, otherwise many users will
simply provide the TIMERANGE predicate without the VERSIONS, and will think
there's only one cell, but there may be more... So VERSIONS should be mandatory
if TIMERANGE is provided. The other/better? options would be to let return all
versions if VERSIONS is not provided.

> HBase shell allows to specify a timestamp to get a value
> - get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1}
> If you don't give the exact timestamp, you get nothing... so it's difficult
> to get the cell previous versions.
> It would be fine to have a "time range" predicate based get.
> The shell syntax could be (depending on technical feasibility)
> - get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMERANGE => (start_timestamp,
> end_timestamp)}
