Description

When ColumnPaginationFilter is combined with ColumnRangeFilter, we may see incorrect result.

Here is a simple example.

One row with 10 columns c0, c1, c2, .., c9. I have a ColumnRangeFilter for range c2 to c9. Then I have a ColumnPaginationFilter with limit 5 and offset 0. FileterList is FilterList(Operator.MUST_PASS_ALL, ColumnRangeFilter, ColumnPaginationFilter).
We expect 5 columns being returned. But in HBase 1.4 and after, 4 columns are returned.
In 1.2.x, the correct 5 columns are returned.
