Class ColumnPrefixFilter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.Filter

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.ColumnPrefixFilter

@InterfaceAudience.Public
public class ColumnPrefixFilter
extends org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

This filter is used for selecting only those keys with columns that matches a particular prefix. For example, if prefix is 'an', it will pass keys with columns like 'and', 'anti' but not keys with columns like 'ball', 'act'.

filterRowKey

public boolean filterRowKey(Cell cell)
                     throws IOException

Description copied from class: Filter

Filters a row based on the row key. If this returns true, the entire row will be excluded. If false, each KeyValue in the row will be passed to Filter.filterCell(Cell) below. If Filter.filterAllRemaining() returns true, then Filter.filterRowKey(Cell) should also return true. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

filterRowKey in class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

Parameters:

cell - The first cell coming in the new row

Returns:

true, remove entire row, false, include the row (maybe).

Throws:

IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

filterKeyValue

@Deprecated
public Filter.ReturnCode filterKeyValue(Cell c)

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Filter

A way to filter based on the column family, column qualifier and/or the column value. Return code is described below. This allows filters to filter only certain number of columns, then terminate without matching ever column. If filterRowKey returns true, filterKeyValue needs to be consistent with it. filterKeyValue can assume that filterRowKey has already been called for the row. If your filter returns ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW, it should return ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW until Filter.reset() is called just in case the caller calls for the next row. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

filterKeyValue in class Filter

Parameters:

c - the Cell in question

Returns:

code as described below, Filter.ReturnCode.INCLUDE by default

See Also:

Filter.ReturnCode

filterCell

public Filter.ReturnCode filterCell(Cell cell)

Description copied from class: Filter

A way to filter based on the column family, column qualifier and/or the column value. Return code is described below. This allows filters to filter only certain number of columns, then terminate without matching ever column. If filterRowKey returns true, filterCell needs to be consistent with it. filterCell can assume that filterRowKey has already been called for the row. If your filter returns ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW, it should return ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW until Filter.reset() is called just in case the caller calls for the next row. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

filterCell in class Filter

Parameters:

cell - the Cell in question

Returns:

code as described below

See Also:

Filter.ReturnCode

filterColumn

public Filter.ReturnCode filterColumn(Cell cell)

createFilterFromArguments

public static Filter createFilterFromArguments(ArrayList<byte[]> filterArguments)

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Description copied from class: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

Return length 0 byte array for Filters that don't require special serialization

Overrides:

toByteArray in class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

Returns:

The filter serialized using pb

parseFrom

public static ColumnPrefixFilter parseFrom(byte[] pbBytes)
                                    throws org.apache.hadoop.hbase.exceptions.DeserializationException

Parameters:

pbBytes - A pb serialized ColumnPrefixFilter instance

Returns:

An instance of ColumnPrefixFilter made from bytes

Throws:

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.exceptions.DeserializationException

getNextCellHint

public Cell getNextCellHint(Cell cell)

Description copied from class: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

Filters that are not sure which key must be next seeked to, can inherit this implementation that, by default, returns a null Cell. If the filter returns the match code SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT, then it should also tell which is the next key it must seek to. After receiving the match code SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT, the QueryMatcher would call this function to find out which key it must next seek to. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

getNextCellHint in class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

Returns:

KeyValue which must be next seeked. return null if the filter is not sure which key to seek to next.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

Return filter's info for debugging and logging purpose.

Overrides:

toString in class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
