Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-12215: --------------------------------------- See HBASE-7010 :) (Things with filters are subtle especially when combining them FilterList) That said, things have changed considerably in the past two years, so we can try again. I agree this not obvious. At *least* we can add to PrefixFilter's Javadoc that the corresponding Scan's startRow needs to be set to the prefix or performance will be bad. > PrefixFilter should use SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12215 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12215 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.98.6.1 > Reporter: Brian Johnson > > PrefixFilter is really just a specialized case of FuzzyFilter. It could be > implemented on top of it, but at the very least it should take advantage of > SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT for performance reasons -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
