Using the Hbase shell to browse?

Hi,

is there a way to get "top ... rows" from a table using the shell, or rows
for a range of keys?

Thank you,
Mark

Top?  You mean those that sort first?  You could start a scan in the
shell at a particular row and then limit the return:

hbase> scan 'TABLENAME', {STARTROW => 'xyz', LIMIT => 10}

Run 'help' to see more on the scan command.
