> The javadoc on some of the filter is somewhat confusing.
> The main Filter interface has methods that behave like a sieve; when filterRowKey returns true, that means that the row is filtered _out_ (not included).
> Many of the Filter implementations work the other way around. When the condition is met the value passes (ie, the row is returned).
> Most Filters make it clear when a values passes (passing through the filter meaning the values are returned from the scan).
> Some are less clear in light of how the Filter interface works: WhileMatchFilter and SingleColumnValueFilter are examples.
