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. > Add RowFilter to HRegion.HScanner > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1531 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1531 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/hbase > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: James Kennedy > Assignee: James Kennedy > Attachments: RowFilter-v2.patch, RowFilter.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
