Thanks guys thought it should be easy. I am looking to paginate through the
records, not return the most recent value.
If I need to toggle -- which I might -- I was planning on using token api.
The KuduScanToken actually implements Comparable and it's implementation is
around the tablet. I think
Hey Scott,
Patrick's answer is spot on. I'm curious, though, is your usecase to find
the latest value? Effectively a 'SORT BY DESC date LIMIT 1', or are you
looking for the last n values, or all values? I ask because we frequently
get the 'last value' question, and the solution for that might
The common technique is to use (MAX_LONG - timestamp). Unfortunately this
won't let you toggle the sort order back-and-forth on the same table. You
could have a duplicate table with the inverse key, effectively using it as
a secondary index.
As of version 0.98, HBase supports a reverse scan
