> HI,
> I think current formal way to make multiple prefix filters is to create a _FilterList_ and add _PrefixFilter_ instances to the list:
> {code:java}
> FilterList allFilters = new FilterList(FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ONE);
> allFilters.addFilter(new PrefixFilter(Bytes.toBytes("123")));
> allFilters.addFilter(new PrefixFilter(Bytes.toBytes("456")));
> allFilters.addFilter(new PrefixFilter(Bytes.toBytes("678")));
> scan.setFilter(allFilters);
> {code}
> (c.f., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41074213/hbase-how-to-specify-multiple-prefix-filters-in-a-single-scan-operation )
> However, in the case of creating a single prefix filter, HBase provides _scan.setRowPrefixFilter_ method.
> This method creates a range filter by setting a start row and a stop row.
> The value of a stop row is decided by calling _calculateTheClosestNextRowKeyForPrefix_ ( c.f., https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-client/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/Scan.java#L574-L597 )
> _MultiRowRangeFilter_ could leverage a list of start row and stop row pairs and _calculateTheClosestNextRowKeyForPrefix_ could compute the stop row value corresponding to given start row (i.e., a prefix).
> I think this kind of filter (a filter which is functionally equivalent to multiple prefix filters) should be creatable by _MultiRowRangeFilter_ and it's better than the current formal way.
> Cheers,
