Minor Description
Expose the ColumnPaginationFilter to the thrift server by implementing the following methods:
public List<TRowResult> getRowWithColumnsPaginated(byte[] tableName, byte[] row, List<byte[]> columns, int limit, int offset);
public List<TRowResult> getRowWithColumnsTsPaginated(byte[] tableName, byte[] row, List<byte[]> columns, long timestamp, int limit, int offset)
Also look into exposing a thrift method for exposing the number of columns in a particular row's family.
