<para>This allows the user to perform server-side filtering when accessing HBase over Thrift. The user specifies a filter via a string. The string is parsed on the server to construct the filter</para>

|

<para>A simple filter expression is expressed as: <code>“FilterName (argument, argument, ... , argument)”</code></para>
|
||||
<para>You must specify the name of the filter followed by the argument list in parenthesis. Commas separate the individual arguments</para>
|
||||
<para>If the argument represents a string, it should be enclosed in single quotes.</para>
|
||||
<para>If it represents a boolean, an integer or a comparison operator like <,
|
||||
>, != etc. it should not be enclosed in quotes</para>
|
||||
<para>The filter name must be one word. All ASCII characters are allowed except for whitespace, single quotes and parenthesis.</para>
|
||||
<para>The filter’s arguments can contain any ASCII character. <code>If single quotes are present in the argument, they must be escaped by a
|
||||
preceding single quote</code></para>

|

<para>Currently, two binary operators – AND/OR and two unary operators – WHILE/SKIP are supported.</para>
|
||||
<para>Note: the operators are all in uppercase</para>
|
||||
<para><emphasis role="bold">AND</emphasis> – as the name suggests, if this
|
||||
operator is used, the key-value must pass both the filters</para>
|
||||
<para><emphasis role="bold">OR</emphasis> – as the name suggests, if this operator
|
||||
is used, the key-value must pass at least one of the filters</para>
|
||||
<para><emphasis role="bold">SKIP</emphasis> – For a particular row, if any of the
|
||||
key-values don’t pass the filter condition, the entire row is skipped</para>
|
||||
<para><emphasis role="bold">WHILE</emphasis> - For a particular row, it continues
|
||||
to emit key-values until a key-value is reached that fails the filter condition</para>
|
||||
<para><emphasis role="bold">Compound Filters:</emphasis> Using these operators, a
|
||||
hierarchy of filters can be created. For example: <code>“(Filter1 AND Filter2) OR (Filter3 AND Filter4)”</code></para>

</section>

<section xml:id="order-of-evaluation"><title>Order of Evaluation</title>

<para>Parenthesis have the highest precedence. The SKIP and WHILE operators are next and have the same precedence.The AND operator has the next highest precedence followed by the OR operator.</para>
|
||||
<para>For example:</para>
|
||||
<para>A filter string of the form:<code>“Filter1 AND Filter2 OR Filter3”</code>
|
||||
will be evaluated as:<code>“(Filter1 AND Filter2) OR Filter3”</code></para>
|

<para>A filter string of the form:<code>“Filter1 AND SKIP Filter2 OR Filter3”</code>
|

will be evaluated as:<code>“(Filter1 AND (SKIP Filter2)) OR Filter3”</code></para>

<para>A simple filter expression is expressed as: <code>“FilterName (argument, argument, ... , argument)”</code></para>

<para>You must specify the name of the filter followed by the argument list in parenthesis. Commas separate the individual arguments</para>

<para>Currently, two binary operators – AND/OR and two unary operators – WHILE/SKIP are supported.</para>

<para>Note: the operators are all in uppercase</para>

<para><emphasis role="bold">AND</emphasis> – as the name suggests, if this

operator is used, the key-value must pass both the filters</para>

is used, the key-value must pass at least one of the filters</para>

<para><emphasis role="bold">SKIP</emphasis> – For a particular row, if any of the

key-values don’t pass the filter condition, the entire row is skipped</para>
|

<para><emphasis role="bold">WHILE</emphasis> - For a particular row, it continues

to emit key-values until a key-value is reached that fails the filter condition</para>
|

<para><emphasis role="bold">Compound Filters:</emphasis> Using these operators, a

hierarchy of filters can be created. For example: <code>“(Filter1 AND Filter2) OR (Filter3 AND Filter4)”</code></para>

<para><emphasis role="bold">Description:</emphasis> This filter takes two arguments – a family
|
||||
and a qualifier. It tries to locate this column in each row and returns all key-values
|
||||
in that row that have the same timestamp. If the row doesn’t contain the specified
|
||||
column – none of the key-values in that row will be returned.</para>
|
||||
<para>The filter can also take an optional boolean argument – dropDependentColumn. If set to true, the column we were depending on doesn’t get returned.</para>
|
||||
<para>The filter can also take two more additional optional arguments – a compare operator and a value comparator, which are further checks in addition to the family and qualifier. If the dependent column is found, its value should also pass the value check and then only is its timestamp taken into consideration</para>
