org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.FilterBase

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.ColumnValueFilter

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

Different from SingleColumnValueFilter which returns an entire row when specified condition is matched, ColumnValueFilter return the matched cell only.

This filter is used to filter cells based on column and value. It takes a CompareOperator operator (<, <=, =, !=, >, >=), and and a ByteArrayComparable comparator.

ColumnValueFilter

public ColumnValueFilter(byte[] family,
                         byte[] qualifier,
                         CompareOperator op,

                         CompareOperator op,
                         ByteArrayComparable comparator)

Method Detail

getCompareOperator

public CompareOperator getCompareOperator()

n

getComparator

public ByteArrayComparable getComparator()

Returns the comparator

getFamily

public byte[] getFamily()

Returns the column family

getQualifier

public byte[] getQualifier()

Returns the qualifier

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException

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

Filters that are purely stateless and do nothing in their reset() methods can inherit this null/empty implementation. Reset the state of the filter between rows. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

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

Throws:

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

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.

filterCell

public Filter.ReturnCode filterCell(Cell c)
                             throws IOException

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:

c - the Cell in question

Returns:

code as described below

Throws:

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

Filter.ReturnCode

createFilterFromArguments

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

Creating this filter by reflection, it is used by ParseFilter,

Parameters:

filterArguments - arguments for creating a ColumnValueFilter

Returns:

a ColumnValueFilter

parseFrom

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

Parse a serialized representation of ColumnValueFilter

Parameters:

pbBytes - A pb serialized ColumnValueFilter instance

Returns:

An instance of ColumnValueFilter made from bytes

Throws:

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.exceptions.DeserializationException - if an error occurred

See Also:

toByteArray()

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()
                   throws IOException

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

Throws:

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

isFamilyEssential

public boolean isFamilyEssential(byte[] name)
                          throws IOException

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

By default, we require all scan's column families to be present. Our subclasses may be more precise. Check that given column family is essential for filter to check row. Most filters always return true here. But some could have more sophisticated logic which could significantly reduce scanning process by not even touching columns until we are 100% sure that it's data is needed in result. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

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

Throws:

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

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
