Hi all, When scanning HBase using the AdvancedScanResultConsumer, what’s the most prompt way to cancel/close an active scan? I only see the possibility of calling ScanController#terminate in the onNext or onHeartbeat callbacks. However, if, because of an external signal like a timeout, this approach seems to unnecessarily delay the termination as it needs to await onNext or onHeartbeat.
The documentation is very clear on not storing references to ScanController. However, it would be nice if org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.AsyncTable#scan(scan, consumer) would return some kind of handle that allows for immediate cancellation. Am I overlooking something? Is there a better approach to this? I reckon that this would require some wiring in AsyncClientScanner#startScan to store the current scanner id and some coordination to handle various concurrent control (scan just being opened, etc.). I would appreciate any feedback. Best regards, Frens Jan
