Niels Basjes reassigned HBASE-26762:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Niels Basjes
> Scan#setRowPrefixFilter incorrectly marked as deprecated
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-26762
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26762
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client, scan
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-2
> Reporter: Niels Basjes
> Assignee: Niels Basjes
> Priority: Major
>
> Issue HBASE-25299 is about the Scan#setRowPrefixFilter having not the
> expected effects when using also the setStartRow and/or setStopRow.
> The setRowPrefixFilter is intended to make setting the right startRow and
> stopRow for prefix scans. So it was always intended of using it instead of
> doing separate setStartRow and/or setStopRow calls.
> The reason for adding this to the Scan (~ 8 years ago) was that calculating
> the correct start and stop row for doing the very efficient prefix scan is
> very hard to do right.
> This function is very important in many of my applications and with issue
> HBASE-25299 it has now been marked as deprecated which I consider to be a
> very bad idea.
> I do agree the documentation can be improved on this point.
