Salutations!

How can Iterate over an entire table using the Java API?
The documentation mentions using Ranges to scan portions of a table, but
what about an entire table?

Thanks,

Juan

Just don't do anything. If you create a scanner object, it sets the
default range to Range(null, null) so when you call Scanner.iterator()
you will create an iterator that will cover the entire table. Calling
the methods to set ranges or fetch columns just narrow the default
range down, if you want everything just don't call those methods.

That is awesome information, and worthy enough to be included in the
Manual. Thanks so much.

Sounds like an FAQ to me. The manual should be fairly limited in scope, I feel.

Not sure it's a FAQ either.  Maybe a "cookbook" of common use cases.

There's already an example that covers this case:

org.apache.accumulo.examples.simple.helloworld.ReadData

"Reads all data between two rows; all data after a given row; or all data
in a table, depending on the number of arguments given."

It should at least be clear in the client section of the manual that a 'table scan' is the default mode unless you scope the scan down via additional calls
