Example of searching via index?

[schnitzi <ma...@fastsearch.com>]

I've created a table with an index, and now I want to search on it.  It's an
IndexedTable, so I'm trying to call...

    getIndexedScanner(String indexId, byte[] indexStartRow, byte[][]
indexColumns, RowFilterInterface indexFilter, byte[][] baseColumns)

...on it, without success.  It seems the key I'm passing in doesn't match. 
The javadoc of this method says that the indexStartRow for this is "created
from the IndexKeyGenerator", but the javadoc on IndexKeyGenerator is
nonexistent.  There's a method

    createIndexKey(byte[] rowKey, Map<byte[],byte[]> columns) 

on it, but it's not at all clear what that second parameter "columns" is
supposed to be.  Can someone post a code example which uses this stuff?

adTHANKSvance,
Mark

I'll add javadoc for IndexKeyGenerator for 0.20.

-Read the package javadoc in client.tableindexed.
-Have a look at the implementing class (SimpleindexKeyGenerator) for how its
used.
-Look at the test for more perspective.
