Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-4256:
--------------------------------------
On the other hand API 1 maps better to setStartRow, setStopRow.
+1 on everything else Stack said.
Would scanning within a row imply start and end row set? I think it should. To
the same row?
(Or are we saying for all rows returned by the scan returns scan only within
these column boundaries?)
If so, maybe we can combine startRow and startQualifier, ditto for stopRow and
endQualifier.
Or we can start at RowX, QualifierA and scan to RowY, QualifierB? I.e. for all
rows between RowX and RowY we'd return all column...

> Dave Revell was asking on IRC today if there's a way to scan ranges of
> *qualifiers* within a row. That is, to be able to specify a *start qualifier*
> and an *end qualifier* so that the Get or Scan seeks directly to the first
> qualifier and stops at some point which can be predeterminate by a qualifier
> or simply a batch configuration (already exists).
> This is particularly useful for large rows with time-based qualifiers.
> Dave also mentioned that another popular database has such a feature that
> they call "column slices".
