Hi, I'm new to HBase and I have a question about using filters. I know that I can use filters with scan, say scan start-key=key1 & end-key=key2 and with a SingleColumnValueFilter: columnA=valueA. But in my java program I need to do filtering on a set of rows which are not contiguous, my client needs to get all rows with rowid in a set<String> and with columnA=valueA. I don't know how this can be done efficiently. I can imagine that I can do a scan of the entire table and set filers rowid=... and columnA=valueA; or I can use get function to get the rows with rowid in my set all to my client and do the filtering on my client side. But I think neither way is efficient. Can anyone give me a hint on this?
Thanks Yixiao
