---------------------------------------
Summary: Javadoc in some Filters ambiguous
Key: HBASE-6142
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6142
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 0.92.2, 0.96.0, 0.94.1
Reporter: Joep Rottinghuis
Priority: Minor
The javadoc on some of the filter is somewhat confusing.
The main Filter interface has methods that behave like a sieve; when
filterRowKey returns true, that means that the row is filtered _out_ (not
included).
Many of the Filter implementations work the other way around. When the
condition is met the value passes (ie, the row is returned).
Most Filters make it clear when a values passes (passing through the filter
meaning the values are returned from the scan).
Some are less clear in light of how the Filter interface works:
WhileMatchFilter and SingleColumnValueFilter are examples.
