Hi Ted,

I'm not sure to get you. HBase will not store any cell in the system if
there is no content. So if you do a scan, you will get only the cells where
the content is not null. There is no need to have any filter here. Can you
please detail what you put in the table and what cells you are trying to
NOT read?
