It seems that the answer is no, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't
miss something. As far as I can tell, scanning a column on a time range
returns just the most recent value within that time range, rather than all
the values in the range.

Thanks,
Natty

I think you can. Try specifying the following "VERSIONS => 4"|

Its also documented in the HBase shell documentation for Get (and I am assuming the same would apply for scans)|

get       Get row or cell contents; pass table name, row, and optionally a dictionary of column(s), timestamp and versions.  Examples: hbase> get 't1', 'r1' hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1'} hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => ['c1', 'c2', 'c3']} hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1} hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1, \ VERSIONS => 4}

Dhaval

Hey Natty,

hbase(main):020:0> get 't','r', { COLUMN => 'f', VERSIONS => 2 }
COLUMN                                     CELL
 f:l                                       timestamp=1362676782345,

Ah, cool, that worked just fine. Missed this, because the scan
documentation doesn't contain any references to VERSION:

hbase(main):046:0> help 'scan'
Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
specifications.  Scanner specifications may include one or more of:
TIMERANGE, FILTER, LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, MAXLENGTH,
or COLUMNS, CACHE

Hey Natty,

Have you tried setting VERSIONS?
