Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-4256:
--------------------------------------
You are right (just looked at the code :) ). Comes back to my question above
then, what do we want to get out of this.
Personally, we have need here to have finer control over where exactly to start
a query and where to stop it.

>
> 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".
