Constructor Detail

WhileMatchFilter

public WhileMatchFilter()

WhileMatchFilter

public WhileMatchFilter(Filter filter)
Method Detail

getFilter

public Filter getFilter()

reset

public void reset()
Description copied from interface: Filter
Reset the state of the filter between rows.

Specified by:
reset in interface Filter

filterAllRemaining

public boolean filterAllRemaining()
Description copied from interface: Filter
If this returns true, the scan will terminate.

Specified by:
filterAllRemaining in interface Filter
Returns:
true to end scan, false to continue.

filterRowKey

public boolean filterRowKey(byte[] buffer,
                            int offset,
                            int length)
Description copied from interface: Filter
Filters a row based on the row key. If this returns true, the entire row will be excluded. If false, each KeyValue in the row will be passed to Filter.filterKeyValue(KeyValue) below.

Specified by:
filterRowKey in interface Filter
Parameters:
buffer - buffer containing row key
offset - offset into buffer where row key starts
length - length of the row key
Returns:
true, remove entire row, false, include the row (maybe).

filterKeyValue

public Filter.ReturnCode filterKeyValue(KeyValue v)
Description copied from interface: Filter
A way to filter based on the column family, column qualifier and/or the column value. Return code is described below. This allows filters to filter only certain number of columns, then terminate without matching ever column. If your filter returns ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW, it should return ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW until Filter.reset() is called just in case the caller calls for the next row.

Specified by:
filterKeyValue in interface Filter
Parameters:
v - the KeyValue in question
Returns:
code as described below

Filter.ReturnCode

filterRow

public boolean filterRow()
Description copied from interface: Filter
Last chance to veto row based on previous Filter.filterKeyValue(KeyValue) calls. The filter needs to retain state then return a particular value for this call if they wish to exclude a row if a certain column is missing (for example).

Specified by:
filterRow in interface Filter
Returns:
true to exclude row, false to include row.

write

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

readFields

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