Phil Yang commented on HBASE-15325:
-----------------------------------
{quote}
You mean, if fetch of a row requires two rpcs, the first rpc will get a Result
marked 'partial', but the second completing rpc will get a Result that does not
have 'partial' marked on it?
{quote}
Yes, the last one doesn't have 'partial' flag. The javadoc comment looks like
for HBase developer, not user. As a public API for user, when this is true user
must setAllowPartial(true) or setBatch. So what is the requirement for user on
this occasion? To know if it is a complete row, or if it is the last part of
this row, or other meanings? For inner usage we can use it as our wish but
before we return it in next() I think we should change the status to a
meaningful one.
> ResultScanner allowing partial result will miss the rest of the row if the
> region is moved between two rpc requests

> HBASE-11544 allow scan rpc return partial of a row to reduce memory usage for
> one rpc request. And client can setAllowPartial or setBatch to get several
> cells in a row instead of the whole row.
> However, the status of the scanner is saved on server and we need this to get
> the next part if there is a partial result before. If we move the region to
> another RS, client will get a NotServingRegionException and open a new
> scanner to the new RS which will be regarded as a new scan from the end of
> this row. So the rest cells of the row of last result will be missing.
