I know I am doing something really dumb, so apologies in advance.

All I want to do is to read a table sequentially.  I tried several versions
of this, but nothing gives me the "value of the Key".  I am sure there's an
easier way.... please help.  Thanks.

        HTable table;
        table = new HTable(new HBaseConfiguration(), "mytable");
        Scan scan = new Scan();
        // scan.addFamily("myfamily");

        ResultScanner scanner = table.getScanner(scan);
        Result result;
        while ((result = scanner.next()) != null) {
            NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<Long,
byte[]>>> map = result.getMap();
            for (Map.Entry<byte[], NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<Long,
byte[]>>> entry : map.entrySet()) {
            byte[] key = entry.getKey();
            *LOG.info("key = " + Bytes.toString(key));*
            NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<Long, byte[]>> value entry.getValue();
              for (Entry<byte[], NavigableMap<Long, byte[]>> entry1 :
value.entrySet()) {
                  byte[] key1 = entry1.getKey();
                  *LOG.info("key1 = " + Bytes.toString(key1));*
                  NavigableMap<byte[], NavigableMap<Long, byte[]>> value1 entry.getValue();
                  for (Entry<byte[], NavigableMap<Long, byte[]>> entry2 :
value1.entrySet()) {
                      String key2 = Bytes.toString(entry2.getKey());
                      *LOG.info("key2 = " + key2);*

                  }
              }
            }
        }

Above returns a map keyed by families:

This is family name, not key.

This is a map keyed by column qualifiers.

I do not think you intended to do this.  I think you meant entry1, not
'entry' and map type should be NavigableMap<Long, byte[]> rather than above.

Sorry.  That was a typo.  In any case, it seems like I am using the wrong
API.

Here's what my table contains:
 ABC_111                     column=info:estimate, timestamp=1263319888463,
value=179.59
 ABC_222                     column=info:estimate, timestamp=1263319888463,
value=191.50
 ABC_333                     column=info:estimate, timestamp=1263319888463,
value=180.65
 ABC_444                     column=info:estimate, timestamp=1263319888463,
value=183.63
 & so on....
I want to retrieve:

ABC_111  179.59
ABC_222  191.50
ABC_333  180.65
ABC_444  183.63
& so on...

What API should I use?  Please let me know.  Thanks for your help.

Setup the scanner and next it as you did previous.  Then on the Result
object, do something like:

for (KeyValue kv: result.raw()) {
  System.out.println(Bytes.toString(kv.getRow()) + " " +
Bytes.toString(kv.getValue()));
}

Cool.  That works.  Just couple quick questions to confirm:

All the Keys returned by this code are guaranteed to be in order by the key
values, correct?

Also, for some other table I am retrieving all column names for a particular
key, and those all seem to be in the correct order as well.  Is this always
guaranteed?

No.  Explicitly, the order is NOT guaranteed, for performance reasons (I
don't see this in the javadoc.  It should be there).  If just getting latest
version from a set of columns, I believe it will come across in the right
order but not guaranteed.  To get a guaranteed sorted order, call
http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/Result.html#sorted()instead
of the raw() method.  The sort will be done client-side.

 Call sort if you need guarantee.

Thanks for the explanation.  So as per the link you provided the list()
method would return a sorted list, correct?

About the 2nd point, I am using result.getFamilyMap() which returns
NavigableMap which extends SortedMap (as per
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/NavigableMap.html?is-external=true),
so I guess the returned Map would be sorted by key values, so I am safe
there as well, correct?
