Common scanner base

[John Vines]

This came up at the meetup last night, figured I would throw this up here
just in case anyone else is interested.


The case was a user wanted a method for manipulating scan results, whether
they be standard scanner or batch scanner. Turns out, it is pretty easy to
have a common base, at least as of Accumulo 1.4.1.

public class Scratch {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws AccumuloException,
AccumuloSecurityException, TableNotFoundException {
    Instance instance = new ZooKeeperInstance("test", "localhost:2181");
    Connector conn = instance.getConnector("root", "secret".getBytes());

    Scanner scan = conn.createScanner("test", new Authorizations());

    dumpScan(scan);

    BatchScanner bs = conn.createBatchScanner("test", new Authorizations(),
3);
    bs.setRanges(Arrays.asList(new Range()));
    dumpScan(bs);

  }

  /**
   * @param scan
   */
  private static void dumpScan(Iterable<Entry<Key,Value>> scan) {
    for (Entry<Key,Value> e : scan)
      System.out.println(e.getKey());
  }
}


Don't want it as generic (and ugly) as Iterable<Entry<Key,Value>>? You can
also use ScannerOptions or ScannerBase!
