---------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of questions to clarify:

For the new scan mode, does it make sense to have the following semantics for 
scan timestamp:
* explicitly specified: in the corresponding tablet, select server's first 
operation which happens after the specified timestamp
* not specified/omitted: in the corresponding tablet, select server's latest 
committed operation
?

Also, there is a question: what timestamp do we choose if the first tablet 
server contacted among those hosting the tablet does not have any committed 
operations yet?

> It would be useful to be able to perform snapshot reads at a timestamp that 
> is higher than a client provided timestamp, thus improving recency, but lower 
> that the server's oldest inflight transaction, thus minimizing the scan's 
> chance to block.
> Such a mode would not guarantee linearizability, but would still allow for 
> client-local read-your-writes, which seems to be one of the properties users 
> care about the most.
> This should likely be the new default read mode for scanners.
