@InterfaceAudience.Private
public interface InternalScanner
extends Closeable

Internal scanners differ from client-side scanners in that they operate on HStoreKeys and byte[] instead of RowResults. This is because they are actually close to how the data is physically stored, and therefore it is more convenient to interact with them that way. It is also much easier to merge the results across SortedMaps than RowResults.

Additionally, we need to be able to determine if the scanner is doing wildcard column matches (when only a column family is specified or if a column regex is specified) or if multiple members of the same column family were specified. If so, we need to ignore the timestamp to ensure that we get all the family members, as they may have been last updated at different times.
