Class ColumnPrefixFilter

java.lang.Object

org.hbase.async.ScanFilter

org.hbase.async.ColumnPrefixFilter

public final class ColumnPrefixFilter
extends ScanFilter

Sets a binary prefix to filter results based on the column qualifier.

Efficiently compares the column qualifier bytes up to the length of the prefix to see if it matches.

Only setting this filter will return all rows that match the criteria but at the same will cost a full table scan.
