> Key: HBASE-4086
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4086
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.90.3
> Environment: all
> Reporter: nkeywal
> Assignee: Doug Meil
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: SingleColumnValueFilter_HBASE_4086.java.patch

>
> The behaviour when the column is not found is documented differently in the
> constructor and in the setter. The constructor is actually wrong: by default,
> when the column is not found, the row is emitted (may be the opposite would
> be better, but it's another question)
> SingleColumnValueFilter
> public SingleColumnValueFilter(byte[] family,
> byte[] qualifier,
> CompareFilter.CompareOp compareOp,
> byte[] value)
> Constructor for binary compare of the value of a single column. If the column
> is found and the condition passes, all columns of the row will be emitted. If
> the column is not found or the condition fails, the row will not be emitted.
> setFilterIfMissing
> public void setFilterIfMissing(boolean filterIfMissing)
> Set whether entire row should be filtered if column is not found.
> If true, the entire row will be skipped if the column is not found.
> If false, the row will pass if the column is not found. This is default.
> Possible correction for the constructor documentation:
> If the column is found and the condition passes, all columns of the row will
> be emitted. If the condition fails, the row will not be emitted. The behavior
> when the column is not found is defined by setFilterIfMissing.
