     * Return all information gathered about the scan.
     * <p>
     * This routine returns a list of properties which contains all information
     * gathered about the scan.  If a Property is passed in, then that property
     * list is appeneded to, otherwise a new property object is created and
     * returned.
     * <p>
     * Not all scans may support all properties, if the property is not 
     * supported then it will not be returned.  The following is a list of
     * properties that may be returned. These names have been internationalized,
	 * the names shown here are the old, non-internationalized names:
     *
     *     scanType
     *         - type of the scan being performed:
     *           btree
     *           heap
     *           sort
     *     numPagesVisited
     *         - the number of pages visited during the scan.  For btree scans
     *           this number only includes the leaf pages visited.  
     *     numDeletedRowsVisited
     *         - the number of deleted rows visited during the scan.  This
     *           number includes only those rows marked deleted.
     *     numRowsVisited
     *         - the number of rows visited during the scan.  This number 
     *           includes all rows, including: those marked deleted, those
     *           that don't meet qualification, ...
     *     numRowsQualified
     *         - the number of rows which met the qualification.
     *     treeHeight (btree's only)
     *         - for btree's the height of the tree.  A tree with one page
     *           has a height of 1.  Total number of pages visited in a btree
     *           scan is (treeHeight - 1 + numPagesVisited).
     *     numColumnsFetched
     *         - the number of columns Fetched - partial scans will result
     *           in fetching less columns than the total number in the scan.
     *     columnsFetchedBitSet
     *         - The BitSet.toString() method called on the validColumns arg.
     *           to the scan, unless validColumns was set to null, and in that
     *           case we will return "all".
     *     NOTE - this list will be expanded as more information about the scan
     *            is gathered and returned.
     *
     * @param prop   Property list to fill in.
     *
	 * @exception  StandardException  Standard exception policy.
