I want to read only the keys in a table. I tried this... try {
HTable table = new HTable("myTable"); Scan scan = new Scan(); scan.addFamily(Bytes.toBytes("Info")); ResultScanner scanner = table.getScanner(scan); Result result = scanner.next(); while (result != null) { & so on... This was performing fairly well until I added another Family that contains lots of key/value pairs. My understanding was that adding another family wouldn't affect performance of this code because I am explicitly using "Info", but it is. Anyway, in this particular use case, I only care about the "Key" of the row. I don't need any values from any of the families. What's the best way to do this? Please let me know. Thanks.
