stack commented on HBASE-3170:
------------------------------
bq. On the point about disabling Get with empty row, I was also having the same
opinion until I started digging into why Get with empty row key is broken at
all.
Can you say more? Would it be hard just throwing IllegalArgument if Get is
passed a null or empty row?
v3 patch seems to keep isScanCreatedFromGet beside a method called isGetScan.
I'd think this'll confuse (and yeah, will think that not all Gets use the Get
constructor.

> I'm no longer sure about the expected behavior when using an empty row key
> (e.g. a 0-byte long byte array). I assumed that this was a legitimate row
> key, just like having an empty column qualifier is allowed. But it seems

> Since I don't actually have a row with an empty row key, I expected that the
> first {{get}} would return nothing.
