> As it stands, the Filter interface allows filtering by
> Filter#filterAllRemaining() -> true indicates scan is over, false, keep going
> on.
> Filter#filterRowKey(byte[],int,int) -> true to drop this row, if false, we
> will also call
> Filter#filterKeyValue(KeyValue) -> true to drop this key/value
> Filter#filterRow() -> last chance to drop entire row based on the sequence of
> filterValue() calls. Eg: filter a row if it doesn't contain a specified
> column.
> It would be useful to allow for an additional API in the form of a step to
> prune the list of KeyValues to be sent by implementing an additional
> Filter#filterRow(List<KeyValue>)
> This would allow for a user to write a custom filter against the api that
> drops unnecessary KeyValues according to user-defined rules.
