Interface TableScanner

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable

public interface TableScanner
extends java.io.Closeable

Scanner interface allows application to scan a range of rows of a table. It is the caller's responsibility to close() the scanner after finishing using it. Scanner allows one to fetch the key without fetching the value to allow underlying implementation to instantiating tuple objects (Row) lazily.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	advance() Advance cursor to the next Row.
boolean	atEnd() Test whether the cursor is at the end of the scan range.
void	getKey(org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable key) Get the row key.
java.lang.String	getProjection()
Schema	getSchema() Get the projection's schema
void	getValue(Tuple row) Get the row.
boolean	seekTo(org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable key) Seek to the key that is greater or equal to the provided key, or we reach the end.
void	seekToEnd() Seek to the end of the scan range.

Method Detail

atEnd

boolean atEnd()
              throws java.io.IOException

Test whether the cursor is at the end of the scan range.

Returns:

Whether the cursor is at the end of the scan range.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

advance

boolean advance()
                throws java.io.IOException

Advance cursor to the next Row.

Returns:

true if the cursor is moved. It will return true when the scanner moves the cursor from the last row to the end position.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getKey

void getKey(org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable key)
            throws java.io.IOException

Get the row key.

Parameters:

key - The output parameter to hold the result.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getValue

void getValue(Tuple row)
              throws java.io.IOException

Get the row.

Parameters:

row - The output parameter to hold the result. It must conform to the schema that the scanner is aware of.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

seekTo

boolean seekTo(org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable key)
               throws java.io.IOException

Parameters:

key - The input key.

Returns:

true if we find the exact match; false otherwise.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

seekToEnd

void seekToEnd()
