In the setup im using start and end rows are the fastest way to get to the segments of data I need within hbase. The row filter is then used to clean/restict the data, think of it like the HAVING clause in SQL if you are used to that, It happens more in post processing of the result set. Thats my understanding of how it should be used, others may have different feedback on this. -Ian Brooks On Thursday 10 Jul 2014 17:08:58 Madabhattula Rajesh Kumar wrote: > Hi Ian, > > Thank you very much of the solution.
