Hi Jean-Marc I was thinking of Scan.setTimeRange to only get the x latest rows, but I would like to avoid a full table scan.
The alternative would be to use set the timestamp in the key and use start and stop key. But since HBase already is aware of timestamps I tought it might optimize Scan.setTimeRange scans?
