Class DependentColumnFilter

java.lang.Object

org.hbase.async.ScanFilter

org.hbase.async.CompareFilter

org.hbase.async.DependentColumnFilter

public final class DependentColumnFilter
extends CompareFilter

Filters key values based on the existence of a dependent, or reference, column. Column values in a row will be filtered unless the row contains a value in the dependent column with the same time stamp.

A comparison can optionally be provided to further filter based on the value of the dependent column.
