stack commented on HBASE-7928:
------------------------------
In shell, could you just add the above constants when you notice it is .META.
table and it has startrow arg? Ugly but user wouldn't see it. Or you could
just throw exception warning user they need to add ',,' at least to make it
work on .META. -- ugly but less surprising.
> Scanning .META. with startRow and/or stopRow is not giving proper results

> Project: HBase

> {code}
> try {
> HTable metaTable = new HTable(config, Bytes.toBytes(".META."));
> Scan scan = new Scan();
> scan.setStartRow(Bytes.toBytes("e"));
> scan.setStopRow(Bytes.toBytes("z"));
> ResultScanner scanner = metaTable.getScanner(scan);
> Result[] results = scanner.next(100);
> while (results.length > 0) {
> for (Result result : results) {
> System.out.println(Bytes.toString(result.getRow()));
> }
> results = scanner.next(100);
> }
> scanner.close();
> metaTable.close();
> } catch (Exception e) {
> e.printStackTrace();
> }
> {code}
> This code will not return any result even if there is 10 tables with names
> starting with "d" to "w", including one table called "entry". If you comment
> the setStopRow you will get results, but will still get rows starting with
> "d" even if setStartRow is set to "e".
> Same code using with a user table is working fine.
> Facing the same issue with the shell.
> scan '.META.' , {STARTROW => 'e', LIMIT => 10} is returning rows starting by
> "d".
> scan '.META.' , {STARTROW => 'e', STOPROW => 'v', LIMIT => 10} is not
> returning anything.
