Alex Baranau commented on HBASE-6618:
-------------------------------------

got it thanx.

bq. We could use '\' before '?' to define the normal byte '?'

and then \ before \ if we need \. And so on.

I mean we can do that. Having Strings _with special chars_ where impl expects _any_ bytes as normal input at times not trivial. And if we really want that we would make it in API in some from of standard. And then, we could have it everywhere, e.g. in Puts, etc. I am not sure we want to create specific format for one filter..

What are your thoughts on builder? seems like can help to avoid all those special chars and still keep it very human-friendly. We can allow also Strings as I mentioned with \x notation. But the difference is that no pain with special chars and easy guiding API for users...

> Apart from current ability to specify fuzzy row filter e.g. for <userId_actionId> format as ????_0004 (where 0004 - actionId) it would be great to also have ability to specify the "fuzzy range" , e.g. ????_0004, ..., ????_0099.
> See initial discussion here: http://search-hadoop.com/m/WVLJdX0Z65
> Note: currently it is possible to provide multiple fuzzy row rules to existing FuzzyRowFilter, but in case when the range is big (contains thousands of values) it is not efficient.
> Filter should perform efficient fast-forwarding during the scan (this is what distinguishes it from regex row filter).
> While such functionality may seem like a proper fit for custom filter (i.e. not including into standard filter set) it looks like the filter may be very re-useable. We may judge based on the implementation that will hopefully be added.
