> Javadoc in some Filters ambiguous
> ---------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-6142
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6142
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.92.2, 0.94.1, 0.95.2
> Reporter: Joep Rottinghuis
> Assignee: Misty Stanley-Jones
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner
>
> The javadoc on some of the filter is somewhat confusing.
> The main Filter interface has methods that behave like a sieve; when
> filterRowKey returns true, that means that the row is filtered _out_ (not
> included).
> Many of the Filter implementations work the other way around. When the
> condition is met the value passes (ie, the row is returned).
> Most Filters make it clear when a values passes (passing through the filter
> meaning the values are returned from the scan).
> Some are less clear in light of how the Filter interface works:
> WhileMatchFilter and SingleColumnValueFilter are examples.
