Hi,
Given what is explained here
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6042 , usage of rowcounter
like this : RowCounter <tablename> <fam:col> is broken.
Could some one confirm?

Sorry for the lazy email last time. Here is the description in little
more detail:

The RowCounter use FirstKeyOnlyFilter regardless of whether or not the
command line argument specified a column family (or family:qualifier).
In case when no qualifier was specified as argument, the scan will
give correct result. However in the other case the scan instance may
have been set with columns other than the very first column in the
row, causing scan to get nothing as the FirstKeyOnlyFilter removes
everything else.

I think this is indeed an issue.

Mind filing a JIRA ?

Thanks
