Hi, FilterBase.java has been marked @InterfaceAudience.Private since 0.96 I want to get your opinion on making potential change to FilterBase - dropping filterKeyValue(Cell ignored).
You can find background in HBASE-10485: PrefixFilter#filterKeyValue() should perform filtering on row key My thinking is that dropping filterKeyValue(Cell ignored) would let developers make conscientious decision on when ReturnCode.INCLUDE should be returned. This is for 0.99 only. Your opinion is appreciated. Thanks
