/**
 * 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.
