Thanks, Ryan. Is it possible to also get the latest versions before a particular timestamp on the shell , if I want to query older data ? JG did provide me with the api call for the same - I need it for the shell as well.

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. -ryan On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 5:38 PM, Sharma, Avani <[email protected]> wrote: > How can I find out how many versions a row has on hbase shell and also see > that data ? > > Also, can someone point me to any documentation on working with versions via > the API. > > Thanks, > Avani > >
