Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-18747:
-----------------------------------
I'm still not sure whether we should give CP users the ability to deal with
List<KVScanner>. For compaction and flush, I want to provide something like a
FilteringInternalScanner to allow CP users to customize the result. For other
usage, just use Region.getScanner to get a region level scanner is enough?
> Introduce new example and helper classes to tell CP users how to do filtering
> on scanners

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task

> Reporter: Duo Zhang
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0.0-alpha-4

> Finally we decided that CP users should not have the ability to create
> {{StoreScanner}} or {{StoreFileScanner}}, so it is impossible for them to
> filter out some cells when flush or compaction by simply provide a filter
> when constructing {{StoreScanner}}.
> But I think filtering out some cells is a very important usage for CP users,
> so we need to provide the ability in another way. Theoretically it can be
> done with wrapping an {{InternalScanner}}, but I think we need to give an
> example, or even some helper classes to help CP users.
