HintingFilter

@Public
public class MultiRowRangeFilter
extends FilterBase
implements HintingFilter

Filter to support scan multiple row key ranges. It can construct the row key ranges from the passed list which can be accessed by each region server. HBase is quite efficient when scanning only one small row key range. If user needs to specify multiple row key ranges in one scan, the typical solutions are: 1. through FilterList which is a list of row key Filters, 2. using the SQL layer over HBase to join with two table, such as hive, phoenix etc. However, both solutions are inefficient. Both of them can't utilize the range info to perform fast forwarding during scan which is quite time consuming. If the number of ranges are quite big (e.g. millions), join is a proper solution though it is slow. However, there are cases that user wants to specify a small number of ranges to scan (e.g. <1000 ranges). Both solutions can't provide satisfactory performance in such case. MultiRowRangeFilter is to support such usec ase (scan multiple row key ranges), which can construct the row key ranges from user specified list and perform fast-forwarding during scan. Thus, the scan will be quite efficient.

Constructor Details

MultiRowRangeFilter

public MultiRowRangeFilter(List<MultiRowRangeFilter.RowRange> list)

Parameters:

list - A list of RowRange

MultiRowRangeFilter

public MultiRowRangeFilter(byte[][] rowKeyPrefixes)

Constructor for creating a MultiRowRangeFilter from multiple rowkey prefixes. As MultiRowRangeFilter javadoc says (See the solution 1 of the first statement), if you try to create a filter list that scans row keys corresponding to given prefixes (e.g., FilterList composed of multiple PrefixFilters), this constructor provides a way to avoid creating an inefficient one.

Parameters:

rowKeyPrefixes - the array of byte array

Method Details

createRangeListFromRowKeyPrefixes

private static List<MultiRowRangeFilter.RowRange> createRangeListFromRowKeyPrefixes(byte[][] rowKeyPrefixes)

getRowRanges

public List<MultiRowRangeFilter.RowRange> getRowRanges()

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. If this returns true, the scan will terminate. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

filterAllRemaining in class FilterBase

Returns:

true to end scan, false to continue.

filterRowKey

public boolean filterRowKey(Cell firstRowCell)

Description copied from class: 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.filterCell(Cell) below. If Filter.filterAllRemaining() returns true, then Filter.filterRowKey(Cell) should also return true. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

filterRowKey in class FilterBase

Parameters:

firstRowCell - The first cell coming in the new row

Returns:

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

filterCell

public Filter.ReturnCode filterCell(Cell ignored)

Description copied from class: 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 filterRowKey returns true, filterCell needs to be consistent with it. filterCell can assume that filterRowKey has already been called for the row. 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. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException.

Overrides:

filterCell in class Filter

Parameters:

ignored - the Cell in question

Returns:

code as described below

See Also:

• Filter.ReturnCode

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. If the filter returns the match code SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT, then it should also tell which is the next key it must seek to. After receiving the match code SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT, the QueryMatcher would call this function to find out which key it must next seek to. Concrete implementers can signal a failure condition in their code by throwing an IOException. NOTICE: Filter will be evaluate at server side so the returned Cell must be an ExtendedCell, although it is marked as IA.Private.

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.

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Returns The filter serialized using pb

Overrides:

toByteArray in class FilterBase

Returns:

The filter serialized using pb

parseFrom

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

Parse a serialized representation of MultiRowRangeFilter

Parameters:

pbBytes - A pb serialized instance

Returns:

An instance of MultiRowRangeFilter

Throws:

DeserializationException - if an error occurred

See Also:

• toByteArray()

areSerializedFieldsEqual

boolean areSerializedFieldsEqual(Filter o)

Returns true if and only if the fields of the filter that are serialized are equal to the corresponding fields in other. Used for testing.

Overrides:

areSerializedFieldsEqual in class FilterBase

Returns:

true if and only if the fields of the filter that are serialized are equal to the corresponding fields in other. Used for testing.

sortAndMerge

public static List<MultiRowRangeFilter.RowRange> sortAndMerge(List<MultiRowRangeFilter.RowRange> ranges)

sort the ranges and if the ranges with overlap, then merge them.

Parameters:

ranges - the list of ranges to sort and merge.

Returns:

the ranges after sort and merge.

throwExceptionForInvalidRanges

private static void throwExceptionForInvalidRanges(List<MultiRowRangeFilter.RowRange> invalidRanges,
 boolean details)

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
