@Jean-Marc: Sure, I can do that, but thats a little bit complicated because the the rows has sometimes Millions of Columns and I have to handle them into different batches because otherwise hbase crashs. Maybe I will try it later, but first I want to try the API version. It works okay so far, but I want to improve it a little bit.
@Ted: I try to modify it, but I have no idea how exactly do this. I've to count the number of columns in that filter (that works obviously with the count field). But there is no Method that is caleld after iterating over all elements, so I can not return the Drop ReturnCode in the filterKeyValue Method because I did'nt know when it was the last one.
