stack updated HADOOP-1531:
--------------------------
Attachment: RowFilter-v4.patch
James: This patch includes invertion of regex match inside in
RegExpRowFilter.filter. Also adds little test of row + column values for this
class. If you think it good to go, move issue to 'patch sumitted' (I built it
local and all seems good).
> Add RowFilter to HRegion.HScanner

>
> I've implemented a RowFilterInterface and a RowFilter implementation. This
> is passed to the HRegion.HScanner via HClient.openScanner() though it is an
> entirely optional parameter.
> HScanner applies the filter in the next() call by iterating until it
> encounters a row that is not filtered by the RowFilter. The filter applies
> criteria based on row keys and/or column data values.
> Null values are little tricky since the resultSet in that loop may represent
> nulls as absent columns or as DELETED_BYTES. Nevertheless null cases are
> taken care of by the filter and you can for example retrieve all rows where
> column X = null.
> The initial RowFilter implementation is limited in several ways:
> * Equality test only with literal values. No !=, <, >, etc. No col1 == col2.
> This is a straight-up byte[] comparison.
> * Multiple column criteria are treated as an implicit conjunction, no
> disjunction possible.
> * row key criteria is a regular expression only
> * row key criteria is independent of column criteria. No "if
> rowkey.matches(A) and col1==B" although the interface is created to allow
> for that.
> But it should be easy to write an improved RowFilterInterface implementation
> to take care of most of the above without having to change code elsewhere.
