This is also more convenient for the caller than having to parse through all of the start/end keys in the table everytime.

Wait. TableInputFormat is already configured with a Scan object, which do exactly the same thing (via a scanner).
You don't special InputFormat for this.

bq.  Summary
bq.  -------
bq.  
bq.  getRegionsInRange() will retrieve the HRegionLocations for the regions associated with the specified key range, using client-side cache if possible.
bq.  
bq.  I have one question: right now the endKey specified to getRegionsInRange() is treated as inclusive.  I followed the behavior that I saw in HRegionInfo.containsRange().  However, other HBase code such as Scan treats the endKey as exclusive.  So I am not clear as to which way we should go here.  I can easily change the patch if we want the endKey to be exclusive; please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

> It would be nice to have an accessor to find all regions that overlap with a particular range of keys. Right now, the only way to accomplish that is to call HTable.getStartEndKeys(), then follow that with calls to getRegionLocation() for the range of keys you are interested in.  This algorithm has 2 drawbacks:
> * It returns more keys than is necessary most of the time.  This is especially evident if there are a lot of regions comprising the table and the range of keys is small.
> * It always does a scan of .META. via MetaScannerVisitor for at least HTable.getStartEndKeys(), and perhaps for HRegionLocations that are not already cached by the client.
> An accessor that limited its scans to a specified range could avoid scanning .META. at all if the HRegionLocations being fetched were already cached by the client, thereby potentially making this operation faster in common cases.
> Here's a proposal for the accessor:
>   /**
>    * Get the corresponding regions for an arbitrary range of keys.
>    * <p>
>    * @param startRow Starting row in range, inclusive
>    * @param endRow Ending row in range, inclusive
>    * @return A list of HRegionLocations corresponding to the regions that
>    * contain the specified range
>    * @throws IOException if a remote or network exception occurs
>    */
>   public List<HRegionLocation> getRegionsInRange(final byte [] startKey,
>     final byte [] endKey) throws IOException
