Alex Baranau commented on HBASE-3811:
-------------------------------------
Hm. I thought about scan attributes as usual attributes/settings map, which is
comparable to e.g. org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration or similar.
Does anyone see we are going to use byte[] values? Are we going to put in
values e.g. serialized objects, or smth related?

> There's sometimes a need to add custom attribute to Scan object so that it
> can be accessed on server side.
> Example of the case where it is needed discussed here:
> http://search-hadoop.com/m/v3Jtb2GkiO. There might be other cases where it is
> useful, which are mostly about logging/gathering stats on server side.
> Alternative to allowing adding any custom attributes to scan could be adding
> some fixed field, like "type" to the class.
