[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-10192) Empty rowkey is not allowed any more

["Enis Soztutar (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10192?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13851202#comment-13851202 ] 

Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-10192:
---------------------------------------

One problem with empty row keys was that, you cannot get with en empty row key, since get will be converted into a scan, and that scan would have startKey = empty, stopKey = empty, which is a whole table scan! I remember [~devaraj] looking into that some time ago, but I was not able to find the issue.

> In HBase-8101, we added a check and disallowed empty rowkey.  However, it is allowed in 0.94. I was wondering if there is any special reason for that, i.e., is it by intention or by mistake?
