Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3729:
-------------------------------
I chose 3 versions as default value to be consistent with HTable default.
Here is the output when VERSIONS is absent:
{code}
hbase(main):001:0> get 'test', 'row1', { TIMERANGE => [0, 3000000000000]}
COLUMN CELL
cf:a timestamp=1302061994636, value=value2
cf:a timestamp=1302061992530, value=value1
2 row(s) in 0.3540 seconds
{code}
> Get cells via shell with a time range predicate

> 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)}
