i'm still designing and coming up to speed with hbase, trying to use a columnprefix filter to find rows/keys that have a certain family:column key, and then get all the data for that key.
so the goal would be, assuming there was a table like this (example) > create 'cars' , 'interior', 'exterior' Then assuming there was a bunch of rows with cars with a key by license plate (i know, this example is contrived and silly), and I wanted to find all keys/rows (and their data) that have a exterior:sunroof key, and then all of their rows of data (still coming up to speed on the terminology here, so welcome suggestion on what I've gotten wrong ;-) 12345 column=interior:radio value=foo 12345 column=interior:seat value=bar 12345 column=exterior:sunroof value=foo 22345 column=exterior:wheels value=two 22345 column=interior:radio value=bar scan 'cars', { COLUMNS => ['exterior'], LIMIT => 10, FILTER => "(ColumnPrefixFilter('sunroof')" } Now that scan works and finds just the 12345 key, but i'd also like to get all the other data about the key in a single scan. Currently I have to get the rows/keys, then another scan for each to find all their associated data. Wondering if there is one way, in such a scenerio to get all the data, based on a column:key existing in a row?
