Hi,



Suppose I have an HBase table with many regions, and possibly many rows in
the memstore from recent additions.



Suppose I have a program that opens a Scan on the table, from start to
finish. Full table scan.



Does HBase guarantee that rows are returned in key order? Or might it jump
around, say, read one region first, then maybe another (and not necessarily
in region order)?



Thanks,



Dave
