Is there any plan to support scan operations?

[kirankulkarni]

I wanted to use HBase as source tap, a tap which can perform scan operation. I have huge tables so I can not read row every time a MR job runs. I followed cascading.hbase forks and eventually landed on this library. Though you have namespace which has scan-options, I believe it is not being used.

Is there a plan to support HBase scan operation in source tap?
PS: I am fairly new to Hbase + Hadoop + Cascading,
