1 table will contain all the event types.. key is eventId (type of event) + timestamp and value would be visitorId.. we want to find out all the visitorId that has seen 4-5 specific event types in sequence..
As far as I understand the scanner object takes starting key and ending key.. if that is the case we will end up scanning lot more data then required because the table contains data for all the event types.. I hope it make sense. Thanks stack-3 wrote: > > Whats your schema like? Whats the key schema like? Are these events > all in the one table? Are they co-located?
