James: Your test was based on 0.94.6.1, right ? What Filter were you using ?
If you used SingleColumnValueFilter, have you seen my comment here ? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5416?focusedCommentId=13541229&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13541229 BTW the use case Max Lapan tried to address has non essential column family carrying considerably more data compared to essential column family.
