Note the BinaryPrefixComparator compares values (not keys). Not sure that this is what you want, but you mention a "range of key".
For keys there are ColumnPrefixFilter and ColumnRangeFilter. -- Lars ________________________________ From: Alex Vasilenko <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 9, 2012 10:03 AM Subject: row filter - binary comparator at certain range Hi all, I'm a brand new user of hbase and hadoop in general. Trying to evaluate hbase for our needs. Question is: why there's BinaryPrefixComparator, but no BinaryRangeComparator, where you specify what range of key should be compared. Are there any concerns about using it? Thanks, Alexandr Vasilenko
