Take a look at org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.FirstEntryInRowIterator. Does anyone know why this is not in the user iterator package? Is there an issue with it? This will bring back the first key/value for each row, then you could count those on the client side. This will work for a range. For a pattern, David's suggestion of the regex filter may be useful. You could also look in the org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.user.RowFilter. You could use FirstEntryInRowIterator and RegEx or RowFilter, but you would have to be careful about the order of the iterators. > > Venkat.
