Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-1512:
----------------------------------
Issue Type: Sub-task (was: Improvement)
Parent: HBASE-2000
> New filter type: a filter that can return results that it has fabricated (use
> for doing sum, count, etc.)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-1512
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1512
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: stack

> Chatting with jgray and holstad at the kitchen table about counts, sums, and
> other aggregating facility, facility generally where you want to calculate
> some meta info on your table, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard making a
> filter type that could run a function server-side and return the result ONLY
> of the aggregation or whatever.
> For example, say you just want to count rows, currently you scan, server
> returns all data to client and count is done by client counting up row keys.
> A bunch of time and resources have been wasted returning data that we're not
> interested in. With this new filter type, the counting would be done
> server-side and then it would make up a new result that was the count only
> (kinda like mysql when you ask it to count, it returns a 'table' with a count
> column whose value is count of rows). We could have it so the count was
> just done per region and return that. Or we could maybe make a small change
> in scanner too so that it aggregated the per-region counts.
