Oh! I'm sorry - must have misread that. The answer is unfortunately the same. It is not possible to do something like that in the get operation. With the addColumn function you have to add the specific qualifier you're looking for and in the result you can only iterate over every column qualifier to see if it matches. But you can use a scan here too as there is a filter that filters based on column qualifiers[1]. I can't say what the best solution for your specific problem is though. Hope that helps.
