Hi all, I'm trying to get a custom filter to work on HBase 0.96. After some searching, I found that starting from 0.96, the implementer is required to implement "toByteArray" and "parseFrom" methods, using Protocol Buffers. But I'm having trouble with the "how".
The "proto" file for the existing filters is located here: https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-protocol/src/main/protobuf/Filter.proto Am I supposed to modify that file? Or create a new file, compile it into Java, and package it up with the filter? In the meantime, I've taken a shortcut that's not working. Here's my code: http://pastebin.com/iHFKu9Xz I'm using "PrefixFilter", which comes with HBase, since I'm also filtering by "prefix". However, that errors out with the following: http://pastebin.com/zBg47p6Z Thanks in advance for helping! -Matt
