ryan rawson commented on HBASE-1647:
------------------------------------

I'm afraid this patch is not good, the assumptions of the reporter are not 
correct, we in fact see things in this order:

row1 / col1
row1 / col2
row2 / col1
row2 / col2

This patch removes a key piece of functionality I built into the new API that 
allows us to post-facto filter a row.

The API needs to be clearer perhaps.  The intent is:

- use filterRowKey() to have the earliest chance to filter an entire row based 
on the _KEY_ only.
- for more complex processing, implement filterKeyValue() and set internal 
state. 
-- At the "End" of the KeyValues for a row, filterRow() will be called, and you 
can choose, based on that state, to filter the row.  Eg: if a column was 
missing (which you can't know until you hit the end of the KeyValues for a 
row).  

If you don't use this feature, implement filterRow() { return false; }.  The 
JIT hotspot will take care of optimizing things.


> Filter#filterRow is called too often, filters rows it shouldn't have

> Filter#filterRow is called from ScanQueryMatcher#filterEntireRow which is 
> called from StoreScanner.next. However, if I understood the code correctly, 
> StoreScanner processes KeyValue-s in a column-oriented order (i.e. after 
> row1-col1 comes row2-col1, not row1-col2). Thus, when filterEntireRow is 
> called, in reality, the filter only processed (via filterKeyValue) only one 
> column of a row.
