@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Evolving
public class FuzzyRowFilter
extends FilterBase

Filters data based on fuzzy row key. Performs fast-forwards during scanning. It takes pairs (row key, fuzzy info) to match row keys. Where fuzzy info is a byte array with 0 or 1 as its values:

• 0 - means that this byte in provided row key is fixed, i.e. row key's byte at same position must match
• 1 - means that this byte in provided row key is NOT fixed, i.e. row key's byte at this position can be different from the one in provided row key

Example: Let's assume row key format is userId_actionId_year_month. Length of userId is fixed and is 4, length of actionId is 2 and year and month are 4 and 2 bytes long respectively. Let's assume that we need to fetch all users that performed certain action (encoded as "99") in Jan of any year. Then the pair (row key, fuzzy info) would be the following: row key = "????_99_????_01" (one can use any value instead of "?") fuzzy info = "\x01\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00" I.e. fuzzy info tells the matching mask is "????_99_????_01", where at ? can be any value.

Method Detail

filterKeyValue

public Filter.ReturnCode filterKeyValue(Cell kv)

Description copied from class: FilterBase

Filters that dont filter by key value can inherit this implementation that includes all Cells.

Overrides:

filterKeyValue in class FilterBase

Parameters:

kv - the Cell in question

Returns:

code as described below

getNextCellHint

public Cell getNextCellHint(Cell currentKV)

Description copied from class: FilterBase

Filters that are not sure which key must be next seeked to, can inherit this implementation that, by default, returns a null Cell.

Overrides:

getNextCellHint in class FilterBase

Returns:

KeyValue which must be next seeked. return null if the filter is not sure which key to seek to next.

filterAllRemaining

public boolean filterAllRemaining()

Description copied from class: FilterBase

Filters that never filter all remaining can inherit this implementation that never stops the filter early.

Overrides:

filterAllRemaining in class FilterBase

Returns:

true to end scan, false to continue.

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Description copied from class: FilterBase

Return length 0 byte array for Filters that don't require special serialization

Overrides:

toByteArray in class FilterBase

Returns:

The filter serialized using pb

parseFrom

public static FuzzyRowFilter parseFrom(byte[] pbBytes)
                                throws DeserializationException

Parameters:

pbBytes - A pb serialized FuzzyRowFilter instance

Returns:

An instance of FuzzyRowFilter made from bytes

Throws:

DeserializationException

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: FilterBase

Return filter's info for debugging and logging purpose.

Overrides:

toString in class FilterBase
