Due to fast-forwarding > nature of the filter in many situations this helps to avoid heavy full-table > scans. > This is especially effective when you have composite row key and (some of) > its parts has fixed length. E.g. with the key of format userId_actionId_time, > given that userId and actionId length is fixed, one can select user actions > of specific type using fuzzy row key by specifying mask "????_myaction". > Given fast-forwarding nature of filter, this will usually work much faster > than doing whole table scan with any of the existing server-side filters. > In many cases this can work as secondary-indexing alternative. > Many times users implement it as a custom filter and many times they just > don' know this is possible. Let's add it to the common codebase. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
