I want to filter out all rows that do not have a specific column. any idea which comparator to use?
You can use skip filter combined with qualifier filter . If you use the java client API:
Filter filter = new QualifierFilter(CompareFilter.CompareOp.EQUAL,new BinaryComparator(Bytes.toBytes("column-name")));
Filter filter2 = new SkipFilter(filter);
scan.setFilter(filter2);
this will return all the row without that specific column
SingleColumnValueFilter has method setFilterIfMissing
that excludes all row that do not contain given column if it is given true
. All that is needed is to design filter so it will always pass and call setFilterIfMissing(true)
SingleColumnValueFilter filter = new SingleColumnValueFilter(Bytes.toBytes(columnFamily), Bytes.toBytes("column_name"), CompareFilter.CompareOp.NOT_EQUAL, Bytes.toBytes("non-sense"));
filter.setFilterIfMissing(true);
scan.setFilter(filter);
