Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3811:
-------------------------------
I wanted to test backward compatibility of the read() method.
The result means we don't have to increase the version number of Scan.
> Allow adding attributes to Scan

> 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.
