James Kennedy updated HADOOP-1531:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: RowFilter-v2.patch

Ok i've fixed above issues and implemented filter-stop-scan mechanism.

I also renamed RowFilter to RegExpRowFilter, created a new PageRowFilter for 
limiting to a maximum result size, and created a RowFilterSet which is a 
RowFilter that contains RowFilters and represents a heirarchy of filters to be 
processed disjunctively or conjunctively.

I've tested with my own tests but still need to write one in the HBase project.

I had a hard time getting my eclipse formatter to wrap lines on boolean 
operators like you suggested.  I did manually in this case.  Is it possible for 
you or have you guys already posted an export of your formatter settings?  That 
way I can be sure I'm formatting exactly how you are.

> I've implemented a RowFilterInterface and a RowFilter implementation.  This 
> is passed to the HRegion.HScanner via HClient.openScanner() though it is an 
> entirely optional parameter.
> HScanner applies the filter in the next() call by iterating until it 
> encounters a row that is not filtered by the RowFilter.  The filter applies 
> criteria based on row keys and/or column data values.
> Null values are little tricky since the resultSet in that loop may represent 
> nulls as absent columns or as DELETED_BYTES.  Nevertheless null cases are 
> taken care of by the filter and you can for example retrieve all rows where 
> column X = null.
> The initial RowFilter implementation is limited in several ways:
> * Equality test only with literal values. No !=, <, >, etc. No col1 == col2. 
> This is a straight-up byte[] comparison.
> * Multiple column criteria are treated as an implicit conjunction, no 
> disjunction possible.
> * row key criteria is a regular expression only
> * row key criteria is independent of column criteria. No "if 
> rowkey.matches(A)  and col1==B"  although the interface is created to allow 
> for that.
> But it should be easy to write an improved RowFilterInterface implementation 
> to take care of most of the above without having to change code elsewhere.
