杂记

For HBase and modern hardware, the number would be more like 10 to 1,000 regions per server, but each between 1 GB and 2 GB in size.

Setting the timestamp for the deletes has the effect of only matching the exact cell, that is, the matching column and value with the exact timestamp. On the other hand, not setting the timestamp forces the server to retrieve the latest timestamp on the server side on your behalf. This is slower than performing a delete with an explicit timestamp.

When you are done with the current scan call close(), and consider adding this into a try/finally construct to ensure it is called, even if there are exceptions or errors during the iterations.
