Hi, I'm using Pig-HBaseStorage to load data from Hbase table,
I see the following option: regex=regex Return rows with a rowKey that match this regex on KeyVal Which means all rowkeys that match this regex expression will be returned. My question is if there is a HBase table with rowkey of format: usertype_timestamp_userId And if regex expression is ex: partner_0123234_* [ usertype_timestamp_*] Will a full table scan be done for the above regex where we specified the startkey regex? Or, will Hbase be able to lookup rows for the above regex. If a regex is of type *_012345_334576 [*_timestamp_userid], I agree, a full table scan is required. Any clarifications would be helpful. Thanks Kanagha Kanagha
