Hello all Is it possible to configure an iterator that works as a filter? As per Accumulo docs: As such, the `Filter` class functions well for filtering small amounts of data, but is inefficient for filtering large amounts of data. The decision to use a `Filter` strongly depends on the use case and distribution of data being filtered.
I have a huge corpus to be filtered with a small amount of data selected. I want to select column families from a list of col families. I have a rough idea of using 'seek' to bypass cfs that don't exist in the list. I was hoping I could exploit the 'seek'ing in iterator and go to the range in the list of cf and check if it exists. I am not sure if this will work or if it is a good approach. Any feedback is much appreciated. Best regards, Yamini Joshi
