Does HBase have any command that works like SQL LIMIT query?

I can do it by setStart and setEnd, but I do not want to iterate all rows.

    From the HBase shell you can use LIMIT:

    hbase> scan 'test-table', {'LIMIT' => 5}
    

    From the Java API you can use Scan.setMaxResultSize(N) or scan.setMaxResultsPerColumnFamily(N).

    • HBase API docs – Scan.setMaxResultSize
    • HBase API docs – Scan.setMaxResultsPerColumnFamily
