[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-4364) Filters applied to columns not in the selected column list are ignored

["Jie Huang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4364?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13401902#comment-13401902 ] 

Jie Huang commented on HBASE-4364:
----------------------------------

We have met the similar problem as well. After checking the code implementation and the JavaDoc, it may not be a bug from my perspective. According to its description, if the input doesn't include that column defined in the filter, that column will be regarded as missing. If filterIfMissing is true, that row will be omitted. Otherwise, you will get the row without filtering. 


Generally, in real world application, we'd better to check that case on the client side before issuing the scan. In order to avoid the repetition of checking missing column on client side, we do a little modification on that file while using it (see patch file).

> For a scan, if you select some set of columns using addColumns(), and then apply a SingleColumnValueFilter that restricts the results based on some other columns which aren't selected, then those filter conditions are ignored.
