@Private public abstract class FilterBase extends Filter
Abstract base class to help you implement new Filters. Common "ignore" or NOOP type methods can go here, helping to reduce boiler plate in an ever-expanding filter library. If you could instantiate FilterBase, it would end up being a "null" filter - that is one that never filters anything.

    • reset

      public void reset() throws IOException
      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.
      Specified by:
      reset in class Filter
      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.
      Specified by:
      filterRowKey in class Filter
      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.

    • filterAllRemaining

      public boolean filterAllRemaining() throws IOException
      Filters that never filter all remaining can inherit this implementation that never stops the filter early. If this returns true, the scan will terminate. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.
      Specified by:
      filterAllRemaining in class Filter
      Returns:
      true to end scan, false to continue.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • transformCell

      public Cell transformCell(Cell v) throws IOException
      By default no transformation takes place Give the filter a chance to transform the passed Cell. If the Cell is changed a new Cell object must be returned.

      NOTICE: Filter will be evaluate at server side so the returned Cell must be an ExtendedCell, although it is marked as IA.Private.

      Specified by:
      transformCell in class Filter
      Parameters:
      v - the Cell in question
      Returns:
      the changed Cell
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • filterRowCells

      public void filterRowCells(List<Cell> ignored) throws IOException
      Filters that never filter by modifying the returned List of Cells can inherit this implementation that does nothing. Chance to alter the list of Cells to be submitted. Modifications to the list will carry on Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.
      Specified by:
      filterRowCells in class Filter
      Parameters:
      ignored - the list of Cells to be filtered
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • hasFilterRow

      public boolean hasFilterRow()
      Filters that never filter by modifying the returned List of Cells can inherit this implementation that does nothing. Primarily used to check for conflicts with scans(such as scans that do not read a full row at a time).
      Specified by:
      hasFilterRow in class Filter
      Returns:
      True if this filter actively uses filterRowCells(List) or filterRow().

    • filterRow

      public boolean filterRow() throws IOException
      Filters that never filter by rows based on previously gathered state from Filter.filterCell(Cell) can inherit this implementation that never filters a row. Last chance to veto row based on previous Filter.filterCell(Cell) calls. The filter needs to retain state then return a particular value for this call if they wish to exclude a row if a certain column is missing (for example). Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.
      Specified by:
      filterRow in class Filter
      Returns:
      true to exclude row, false to include row.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • getNextCellHint

      public Cell getNextCellHint(Cell currentCell) throws IOException
      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. NOTICE: Filter will be evaluate at server side so the returned Cell must be an ExtendedCell, although it is marked as IA.Private.
      Specified by:
      getNextCellHint in class Filter
      Returns:
      KeyValue which must be next seeked. return null if the filter is not sure which key to seek to next.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • isFamilyEssential

      public boolean isFamilyEssential(byte[] name) throws IOException
      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.
      Specified by:
      isFamilyEssential in class Filter
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • createFilterFromArguments

      public static Filter createFilterFromArguments(ArrayList<byte[]> filterArguments)
      Given the filter's arguments it constructs the filter

      Parameters:
      filterArguments - the filter's arguments
      Returns:
      constructed filter object

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Return filter's info for debugging and logging purpose.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object

    • toByteArray

      public byte[] toByteArray() throws IOException
      Return length 0 byte array for Filters that don't require special serialization
      Specified by:
      toByteArray in class Filter
      Returns:
      The filter serialized using pb
      Throws:
      IOException - in case an I/O or an filter specific failure needs to be signaled.

    • areSerializedFieldsEqual

      boolean areSerializedFieldsEqual(Filter other)
      Default implementation so that writers of custom filters aren't forced to implement.
      Specified by:
      areSerializedFieldsEqual in class Filter
      Returns:
      true if and only if the fields of the filter that are serialized are equal to the corresponding fields in other. Used for testing.
