Class RowFilterSet

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.RowFilterSet
All Implemented Interfaces:
RowFilterInterface, org.apache.hadoop.io.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 MUST_PASS_ALL (!AND) or MUST_PASS_ONE (!OR). Since you can use RowFilterSets as children of RowFilterSet, you can create a hierarchy of filters to be evaluated.

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 MUST_PASS_ALL is assumed.

Parameters:
rowFilters -

RowFilterSet

public RowFilterSet(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

getOperator

public RowFilterSet.Operator getOperator()
Get the operator.

Returns:
operator

addFilter

public void addFilter(RowFilterInterface filter)
Add a filter.

Parameters:
filter -

validate

public void validate(byte[][] columns)
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
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()
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
Resets the state of the filter. Used prior to the start of a Region scan.

Specified by:
reset in interface RowFilterInterface

rowProcessed

public void rowProcessed(boolean filtered,
                         byte[] rowKey)
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
Called to let filter know the final decision (to pass or filter) on a given row. 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:
rowProcessed in interface RowFilterInterface
See Also:
RowFilterSet

processAlways

public boolean processAlways()
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
Returns whether or not the filter should always be processed in any filtering call. This precaution is necessary for filters that maintain state and need to be updated according to their response to filtering calls (see WhileMatchRowFilter for an example). At times, filters nested in RowFilterSets may or may not be called because the RowFilterSet determines a result as fast as possible. Returning true for processAlways() ensures that the filter will always be called.

Specified by:
processAlways in interface RowFilterInterface
Returns:
whether or not to always process the filter

filterAllRemaining

public boolean filterAllRemaining()
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
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.

filterRowKey

public boolean filterRowKey(byte[] rowKey)
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
Filters on just a row key. This is the first chance to stop a row.

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

filterColumn

public boolean filterColumn(byte[] rowKey,
                            byte[] colKey,
                            byte[] data)
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
Filters on row key, column name, and column value. This will take individual columns out of a row, but the rest of the row will still get through.

Specified by:
filterColumn in interface RowFilterInterface
Parameters:
rowKey - row key to filter on.
colKey - column name to filter on
data - column value to filter on
Returns:
true if row filtered and should not be processed.

filterRow

public boolean filterRow(SortedMap<byte[],Cell> columns)
Description copied from interface: RowFilterInterface
Filter on the fully assembled row. This is the last chance to stop a row.

Specified by:
filterRow in interface RowFilterInterface
Returns:
true if row filtered and should not be processed.

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException
Specified by:
readFields in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable
Throws:
IOException

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException
Specified by:
write in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable
Throws:
IOException
