Unless you are including the date+time in the rowKey yourself, no.

HBase has exactly one index for fast lookups, and that is the rowKey. Any other query operation is (essentially) an exhaustive search.

Hi, all,

Is there a way to get the last row put/delete into a HBase table?

In other words, how can I tell the last time a HBase table is changed? I was
trying to check the HDFS file stats, but HBase has memstore, so that is not
a good way, and HFile location is internal to HBase.

My purpose is to quickly check the last modified timestamp for a given HBase
table.

Thanks,

Ming
