Class ColumnCountGetFilter

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.ColumnCountGetFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter, org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

public class ColumnCountGetFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

Simple filter that returns first N columns on row only. This filter was written to test filters in Get and as soon as it gets its quota of columns, filterAllRemaining() returns true. This makes this filter unsuitable as a Scan filter.

ColumnCountGetFilter

public ColumnCountGetFilter(int n)

Method Detail

filterAllRemaining

public boolean filterAllRemaining()

Description copied from interface: Filter

If this returns true, the scan will terminate.

Specified by:

filterAllRemaining in interface Filter

Returns:

true to end scan, false to continue.

filterKeyValue

public Filter.ReturnCode filterKeyValue(KeyValue v)

Description copied from interface: Filter

A way to filter based on the column family, column qualifier and/or the column value. Return code is described below. This allows filters to filter only certain number of columns, then terminate without matching ever column. If your filter returns ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW, it should return ReturnCode.NEXT_ROW until Filter.reset() is called just in case the caller calls for the next row.

Specified by:

filterKeyValue in interface Filter

Parameters:

v - the KeyValue in question

Returns:

code as described below

Filter.ReturnCode

filterRow

public boolean filterRow()

Description copied from interface: Filter

Last chance to veto row based on previous Filter.filterKeyValue(KeyValue) calls. The filter needs to retain state then return a particular value for this call if they wish to exclude a row if a certain column is missing (for example).

Specified by:

filterRow in interface Filter

Returns:

true to exclude row, false to include row.

filterRowKey

public boolean filterRowKey(byte[] buffer,
                            int offset,
                            int length)

Description copied from interface: Filter

Filters a row based on the row key. If this returns true, the entire row will be excluded. If false, each KeyValue in the row will be passed to Filter.filterKeyValue(KeyValue) below.

Specified by:

filterRowKey in interface Filter

Parameters:

buffer - buffer containing row key

offset - offset into buffer where row key starts

length - length of the row key

Returns:

true, remove entire row, false, include the row (maybe).

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: Filter

Reset the state of the filter between rows.

Specified by:

reset in interface Filter

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Specified by:

readFields in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Throws:

IOException

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Specified by:

write in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Throws:

IOException
