> There is potential inconsistency between the return value of
> Filter#hasFilterRow() and presence of Filter#filterRow().
> Filters may override Filter#filterRow() while leaving return value of
> Filter#hasFilterRow() being false (inherited from FilterBase).
> Downside to purely depending on hasFilterRow() telling us whether custom
> filter overrides filterRow(List) or filterRow() is that the check below may
> be rendered ineffective:
> {code}
> if (nextKv == KV_LIMIT) {
> if (this.filter != null && filter.hasFilterRow()) {
> throw new IncompatibleFilterException(
> "Filter whose hasFilterRow() returns true is incompatible
> with scan with limit!");
> }
> {code}
> When user forgets to override hasFilterRow(), the above check becomes not
> useful.
> Another limitation is that we cannot optimize FilterList#filterRow() through
> short circuit when FilterList#hasFilterRow() turns false.

> This JIRA aims to remove the inconsistency by automatically detecting the
> presence of overridden Filter#filterRow(). For FilterBase-derived classes, if
> filterRow() is implemented and not inherited from FilterBase, it is
> equivalent to having hasFilterRow() return true.
> With precise detection of presence of Filter#filterRow(), the following code
> from HRegion is no longer needed while backward compatibility is kept.
> {code}
> return filter != null && (!filter.hasFilterRow())
> && filter.filterRow();
> {code}
