Hi
Is there a way to do this kind of filtering : In my scan, I want to retrieve 
all columns except for columns starting with a certain prefix. But within that 
set of columns being ignored, I have one known column name that I want to 
retrieve but ignore the rest. The reason is that columns with this prefix have 
a lot of data and I am not interested in everything EXCEPT one of those.

So for ignoring the columns with a certain prefix in the scan, I am doing 
something like 
filters.addFilter(
     new QualifierFilter(CompareFilter.CompareOp.NOT_EQUAL,
        new BinaryPrefixComparator(
                Bytes.add(Bytes.toBytes("c!"), Constants.SEP_BYTES))))

Which works. But what I also want to add, is something like this

filters.addFilter(
     new QualifierFilter(CompareFilter.CompareOp.EQUAL,
        new BinaryPrefixComparator(
                Bytes.add(Bytes.toBytes("c!someName"), Constants.SEP_BYTES))))

I realize both filters are contradictory to each other, so how do I achieve 
this?

thanks
Vrushali
