Release Note

The behavior of retrieving values of all the qualifiers of a column family has been changed. Until now, "columnfamily: " , used to fetch all the values belonging to all the qualifiers of a column family, but now on it means empty qualifier. To retrieve all the qualifier values, just the column family has to be specified. In summary specifying only the column family will retrieve all the values associated with all the column qualifiers and specifying "<columnfamily>: " means retrieving value associated with an empty qualifier.
