Hi Now it is a bit different case of consideration. As of now you need to deal with your input rowkeys and rowkeys that you get from the Results. empty rows = input rowkeys - rowkeys from result
As Lars said you might need to check with isEmpty() on every Result or null check on result.getRow (). Agree that this wont be straight forward considering the app code. -Anoop- ________________________________________ From: Ben Kim [benkimkim...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 1:04 PM To: user@hbase.apache.org Subject: Re: Null rowkey with empty get operation Maybe I showed you a bad example. This makes more sense when it comes to using List<Get> For instance, List<Get> gets = new ArrayList(); for(String rowkey : rowkeys){ Get get = new Get(Bytes.toBytes(rowkey)); get.addFamily(family); Filter filter = new QualifierFilter(CompareOp.NOT_EQUAL, new BinaryComparator(item)); get.setFilter(filter); gets.add(get); } Result[] results = table.get(get); Now I have multiple results, I need to find the rowkey of the result that has no keyvalue. but results[0].getRow() is null if results[0] has no keyvalue. so it's hard to derive which row the empty result belongs to :( Thank you for your response, Ben On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 2:33 PM, Anoop Sam John <anoo...@huawei.com> wrote: > Hi Ben, > In HBase rowkey exists with KVs only.
