> @wchevreuil I believe the nature of prefix doesn't break the backward compatibility. If some one wants exact match just pass the full key in this option as prefix. It's not the same, if I have a dataset where rowkeys can be 'a', 'aa', 'aaa' and so on, but I want to find only the edits for rowkey 'a', the `startsWith` will give me more than I want. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
