public final class ColumnPaginationFilter
extends ScanFilter

A filter, based on the ColumnCountGetFilter, takes two arguments: limit and offset. This filter can be used for row-based indexing, where references to other tables are stored across many columns, in order to efficient lookups and paginated results for end users. Only most recent versions are considered for pagination.

ColumnPaginationFilter

public ColumnPaginationFilter(int limit,
                              int offset)

Initializes filter with an integer offset and limit. The offset is arrived at scanning sequentially and skipping entries. @limit number of columns are then retrieved. If multiple column families are involved, the columns may be spread across them.

Parameters:

limit - Max number of columns to return.

offset - The integer offset where to start pagination.

ColumnPaginationFilter

public ColumnPaginationFilter(int limit,
                              byte[] columnOffset)

Initializes filter with a string/bookmark based offset and limit. The offset is arrived at, by seeking to it using scanner hints. If multiple column families are involved, pagination starts at the first column family which contains @columnOffset. Columns are then retrieved sequentially upto @limit number of columns which maybe spread across multiple column families, depending on how the scan is setup. Only supported with HBase 0.96 and greater.

Parameters:

limit - Max number of columns to return.

columnOffset - The string/bookmark offset on where to start pagination.
