Hey,
In the shell you can ask for more versions by saying:
get 'table', 'row', {COLUMN => 'family', VERSIONS => 4}
I believe you have to specify the COLUMN (as either 'family' or
'family:qualifier') if you want to specify VERSIONS.
As for versions via the API, there is only really 2 calls:
Scan.setMaxVersions(int)
Scan.setMaxVersions()
these set either the requested versions or the max the family can
store. There is a similar call for Get.
PS: I just found 3 of your (unanswered) emails in my gmail spam
folder. Sorry if it seems like no one is home - I know many of the
hbase devs use gmail, so it's possible your email address is confusing
things.
