So there was a couple points of confusion--one that I was able to solve, the
other I'm still struggling with.
First, after looking at the TestFilter and TestFilterList code (thanks for
pointing that out), the QualifierFilter seems like it should only take the
column qualifier in the BinaryComparator. I was previously passing
"user:theme" when it should have just been "theme". Filters worked after
this change.
Second, I'm still not able to get the AND operation working.
To illustrate:
hbase(main):010:0> scan 'testTable', {COLUMNS=>["user:theme",
"user:REMOTE_ADDR"]}
ROW COLUMN+CELL
row1 column=user:REMOTE_ADDR,
timestamp=1264464021672, value=172.16.1.3
row1 column=user:theme, timestamp=1264464041857,
value=Frost
row2 column=user:theme, timestamp=1264464058064,
value=Sunshine
row3 column=user:REMOTE_ADDR,
timestamp=1264464083332, value=172.16.0.06
With MUST_PASS_ALL enabled...
If I comment out the REMOTE_ADDR filter, I get:
IP: null Theme: Frost
IP: null Theme: Sunshine
If I comment out the theme filter, I get the reverse.
IP: 172.16.1.3 Theme: null
IP: 172.16.0.06 Theme: null
If I leave both in, I get __nothing__, when I want:
IP: 172.16.1.3 Theme: Frost
I thought this might be due to HBase not being able to do an AND operation
on Qualifiers of the same column, so I created another testTable2 with two
different columns:
hbase(main):024:0> scan 'testTable2'
ROW COLUMN+CELL
row1 column=addr:REMOTE_ADDR,
timestamp=1264552425218, value=172.16.1.3
row1 column=user:theme, timestamp=1264552375737,
value=Frost
row2 column=user:theme, timestamp=1264552505491,
value=Sunshine
row3 column=addr:REMOTE_ADDR,
timestamp=1264552538651, value=172.16.0.36
But nothing changed.
Any other thoughts? The only solution I can see to get this done is to
implement a row counter for each column+qualifier and then store the results
that meet criteria that I expect, but I was hoping a native filter would do
the job.
