body: <p>How do you use "Range" to Scan an entire table in accumulo without apriori knowledge? </p>
  
  <p>How do folks currently do that. I want to take the random search from:<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21503594/i-am-looking-at-writing-an-accumulo-iterator-to-return-a-random-sample-of-a-perc">I am looking at writing an Accumulo iterator to return a random sample of a percentile of a table</a></p>
  
  <p>and scan over (then write to hdfs) a sample.</p>
  
  <p>This requires me to scan the entire table I believe.</p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
