RE: HRegionInfo returns empty values.

Actually how many regions in your table?
Only one region? In that case it will be having startkey and endkey as empty.. 
So your case what it prints looks to be correct.

Hi, hbase-users.

To get a start-key and end-key from each region, I implemented simple code like 
this.



        HTable table = new HTable(admin.getConf(), admin.getTableName());
        NavigableMap<HRegionInfo, ServerName> locations = 
table.getRegionLocations();
        for (Map.Entry<HRegionInfo, ServerName> entry: locations.entrySet()) {
            HRegionInfo info = entry.getKey();

            System.out.println("server : " + entry.getValue().getHostname());
            System.out.println("start : " + info.getStartKey().length);
            System.out.println("end : " + info.getEndKey().length);
        }


but, this code returns

server : one-of-servers-name
start : 0
end : 0

start-key and end-key is empty. nothing!
data size is very strong. it's about 10,000.
from integer 0 to integer 10,000.

how could I get correct range of a region?

thanks for your concerns.
