columnprefix filter in rest java api

[Erman Pattuk]

I'm using HBase 0.94.1. I have to use Rest Java API to connect to a 
remote cluster. And I have to use filters (especially 
ColumnPrefixFilter) on scan and get operations. But, it always says Scan 
(or Get) operation does not support filters.

Question is: is it really the case? Or is there any way to use 
ColumnPrefixFilter on Rest Java API?

Thanks,

Erman
