Class RowFilterSet

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.RowFilterSet
All Implemented Interfaces:
RowFilterInterface, Writable

public class RowFilterSet
extends Object
implements RowFilterInterface

Implementation of RowFilterInterface that represents a set of RowFilters which will be evaluated with a specified boolean operator AND/OR. Since you can use RowFilterSets as children of RowFilterSet, you can create a hierarchy of filters to be evaluated.


Constructor Summary
RowFilterSet()
          Default constructor, filters nothing.
RowFilterSet(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.RowFilterSet.Operator operator, Set<RowFilterInterface> rowFilters)
          Constructor that takes a set of RowFilters and an operator.
RowFilterSet(Set<RowFilterInterface> rowFilters)
          Constructor that takes a set of RowFilters.
 
Method Summary
 void acceptedRow(Text key)
          Called to let filter know that the specified row has been included in the results (passed all filtering).
 boolean filter(Text rowKey)
          Filters on just a row key.
 boolean filter(Text rowKey, Text colKey, byte[] data)
          Filters on row key and/or a column key.
 boolean filterAllRemaining()
          Determines if the filter has decided that all remaining results should be filtered (skipped).
 boolean filterNotNull(TreeMap<Text,byte[]> columns)
          Filters row if given columns are non-null and have null criteria or if there exists criteria on columns not included in the column set.
 void readFields(DataInput in)
          Reads the fields of this object from in.
 void reset()
          Resets the state of the filter.
 void validate(Text[] columns)
          Validates that this filter applies only to a subset of the given columns.
 void write(DataOutput out)
          Writes the fields of this object to out.

Constructor Detail

RowFilterSet

public RowFilterSet()
Default constructor, filters nothing. Required though for RPC deserialization.


RowFilterSet

public RowFilterSet(Set<RowFilterInterface> rowFilters)
Constructor that takes a set of RowFilters. The default operator AND is assumed.

Parameters:
rowFilters -

RowFilterSet

public RowFilterSet(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.RowFilterSet.Operator operator,
                    Set<RowFilterInterface> rowFilters)
Constructor that takes a set of RowFilters and an operator.

Parameters:
operator - Operator to process filter set with.
rowFilters - Set of row filters.
Method Detail

validate

public void validate(Text[] columns)
Validates that this filter applies only to a subset of the given columns. This check is done prior to opening of scanner due to the limitation that filtering of columns is dependent on the retrieval of those columns within the HRegion. Criteria on columns that are not part of a scanner's column list will be ignored. In the case of null value filters, all rows will pass the filter. This behavior should be 'undefined' for the user and therefore not permitted.

Specified by:
validate in interface RowFilterInterface

reset

public void reset()
Resets the state of the filter. Used prior to the start of a Region scan.

Specified by:
reset in interface RowFilterInterface

acceptedRow

public void acceptedRow(Text key)
Called to let filter know that the specified row has been included in the results (passed all filtering). With out HScanner calling this, the filter does not know if a row passed filtering even if it passed the row itself because other filters may have failed the row. E.g. when this filter is a member of a RowFilterSet with an OR operator.

Specified by:
acceptedRow in interface RowFilterInterface

RowFilterSet

filterAllRemaining

public boolean filterAllRemaining()
Determines if the filter has decided that all remaining results should be filtered (skipped). This is used to prevent the scanner from scanning a the rest of the HRegion when for sure the filter will exclude all remaining rows.

Specified by:
filterAllRemaining in interface RowFilterInterface
Returns:
true if the filter intends to filter all remaining rows.

filter

public boolean filter(Text rowKey)
Filters on just a row key.

Specified by:
filter in interface RowFilterInterface
Returns:
true if given row key is filtered and row should not be processed.

filter

public boolean filter(Text rowKey,
                      Text colKey,
                      byte[] data)
Filters on row key and/or a column key.

Specified by:
filter in interface RowFilterInterface
Parameters:
rowKey - row key to filter on. May be null for no filtering of row key.
colKey - column whose data will be filtered
data - column value
Returns:
true if row filtered and should not be processed.

filterNotNull

public boolean filterNotNull(TreeMap<Text,byte[]> columns)
Filters row if given columns are non-null and have null criteria or if there exists criteria on columns not included in the column set. A column is considered null if it:

Specified by:
filterNotNull in interface RowFilterInterface
Returns:
true if null/non-null criteria not met.

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException
Reads the fields of this object from in. For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

Specified by:
readFields in interface Writable
Throws:
IOException

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException
Writes the fields of this object to out.

Specified by:
write in interface Writable
Throws:
IOException
