Is setting the start and endrow inclusive of the keys provided

[Nkechi Achara <nk...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

If i set a start and stop row in a Scan will this retrieve the inclusive
records for the start row and the end row or will it be exclusive in some
way.

I ask as I am attempting to perform a scan in the following fashion:

new Scan(Bytes.toBytes(startRow),Bytes.toBytes(endrow) )

and when |I pick this up from hbase via spark on hbase I am finding that i
am losing a record where the key should be picked up, but it is not.

So I would like to know if the parameters for start and end row are
exclusive, and if there are how can i ensure they are, is there any way to
make it exclusive?

Thanks,

Keech

Does this help?

  /**
   * Create a Scan operation for the range of rows specified.
   * @param startRow row to start scanner at or after (inclusive)
   * @param stopRow row to stop scanner before (exclusive)
   */
  public Scan(byte [] startRow, byte [] stopRow) {
