---------------------------------------
Pardon if this is an obvious question, but have you considered the coprocessors
framework for this?
> Bitmasks handling
> -----------------
>
> Key: HBASE-8959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8959
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Max Lapan
> Priority: Minor
>
> I think it would be useful to natively support bitmasks in hbase columns with
> ability to check/set/clear/toggle individual bits in byte[] for any column.
> Now, we forced to store lots of feature flags as separate, 1-byte values,
> which is a waste of space. Compression helps, I guess, but anyway, not ideal.
> I see this as a set of new KeyValue.Type, which describes needed
> bit-operations. Operations itself performed on compaction or scan process.
> Similiar things a performed for KeyValue.Minimum and KeyValue.Maximum.
> What do you think about this feature? Maybe, I'm missing something and it is
> much harder to implement than I think?
