[jira] Created: (HBASE-2466) Improving filter API to allow for modification of keyvalue list by filter

Improving filter API to allow for modification of keyvalue list by filter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2466
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2466
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: filters, regionserver
            Reporter: Juhani Connolly
            Priority: Minor


As it stands, the Filter interface allows filtering by

Filter#filterAllRemaining() -> true indicates scan is over, false, keep going on.
Filter#filterRowKey(byte[],int,int) -> true to drop this row, if false, we will also call
Filter#filterKeyValue(KeyValue) -> true to drop this key/value
Filter#filterRow() -> last chance to drop entire row based on the sequence of filterValue() calls. Eg: filter a row if it doesn't contain a specified column.

It would be useful to allow for an additional API in the form of a step to prune the list of KeyValues to be sent by implementing an additional
Filter#filterRow(List<KeyValue>)

This would allow for a user to write a custom filter against the api that drops unnecessary KeyValues according to user-defined rules.
