[jira] Commented: (HBASE-613) Timestamp-anchored scanning fails to find all records

["Jim Kellerman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-613?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12605814#action_12605814 ] 

Jim Kellerman commented on HBASE-613:
-------------------------------------

I finally found the problem (I think)... not only does the supplied timestamp apply to rows within the regions being scanned, it also applies to the regions being found in META. Thus if you specify a timestamp that is older than some of the regions in the META, you will only scan those regions and not all the regions in the table.This is really nasty, because you want to use HConstants.TIMESTAMP_LATEST to scan the META, and then use the user supplied timestamp for filtering results from scanners over those regions. Yuk!

> If I add 3 versions of a cell and then scan across the first set of added cells using a timestamp that should only get values from the first upload, a bunch are missing (I added 100k on each of the three uploads).  I thought it the fact that we set the number of cells found back to 1 in HStore when we move off current row/column but that doesn't seem to be it.  I also tried upping the MAX_VERSIONs on my table and that seemed to have no effect.  Need to look closer.
> Build a unit test because replicating on cluster takes too much time.
