Is there a fundamental reason that HBase only supports forward Scan? It seems like a lot of extra space overhead and coding overhead (to keep them in sync) to support 2 tables. > I am assuming this has been discussed before, but I can't find the discussions anywhere about it or why it would be infeasible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
