Custom Filter on hbase Column

[Nishanth S]

Hi All,

I have an hbase table with multiple cfs (say c1,c2,c3).Each of this column
family has  a column 'message' which is about 5K.What I need to do is to
grab only the first 1000 Characters of this message when I do a get on  the
table using row Key.I was thinking of using  filters to do this on hbase
sever side.Can some one help me on how to go about this.


Thanks,
Nishan
