Use filters

Bigtable provides the following types of filters:

Limiting filters, which control which rows or cells are included in the response.
Modifying filters, which affect the data or metadata for individual cells.
Composing filters, which allow you to combine multiple filters into one.

This page describes each Bigtable filter in detail and shows how to use each type of filter using the Cloud Client Libraries. Before you read this page, read Filters.

Additional samples showing how to use filters to read multiple rows of data are available on Reading data.

Data for examples

The examples on this page assume that you're storing time-series data for smartphones and tablets, and that the following data has been written to a table. The table has two column families, stats_summary and cell_plan. Each column family has three columns.

	stats_summary			cell_plan
row key	connected_cell	connected_wifi	os_build	data_plan_01gb	data_plan_05gb	data_plan_10gb
phone#4c410523#20190501	1	1	PQ2A.190405.003	true@time minus one hour False @time	true
phone#4c410523#20190502	1	1	PQ2A.190405.004		true
phone#4c410523#20190505	0	1	PQ2A.190406.000		true
phone#5c10102#20190501	1	1	PQ2A.190401.002			true
phone#5c10102#20190502	1	0	PQ2A.190406.000			true

Limiting filters

The following sections describe each limiting filter. Limiting filters control which rows or cells are included in the response, based on whether they match specific criteria.

When you use a chain to combine multiple limiting filters, keep in mind that the input row for each filter in the chain is the output row from the previous filter in the chain. For example, if you chain two filters, and the first filter outputs only two of the cells from the original row, the second filter sees only those two cells.

Row selection filters

This section describes the filters that you can use to retrieve rows in a table.

Row sample

This filter lets you retrieve a random sample of rows within a given range. Based on a probability that you specify, the filter chooses at random whether the output row should be the same as the input row or whether it should be omitted from the results.

Row key regex

This filter checks whether the input row's row key matches a regular expression. If the row key matches, the output row is the same as the input row. If the row key does not match, the output row is empty.

If you provide a regular expression that serves as a row key prefix, this filter does not cause a full table scan. For example, a request with a prefix-like regular expression like ^phone\C* is handled similarly to a request with the prefix filter phone.

The regular expression must use RE2 syntax. Because row keys can contain arbitrary bytes, including newline characters, you should use \C as the wildcard expression in most cases. The . expression does not match newline characters.

Cell selection filters

This section describes the filters that you can use to retrieve cells in a table.

Cells per column limit

This filter limits the number of cells in each column that are included in the output row. When this filter is applied, each output row includes the N most recent cells from each column and omits all other cells from that column.

If you are also using an interleave filter and the interleave filter produces duplicate copies of a cell, each copy counts towards the limit.

Cells per row limit

This filter limits the number of cells in each output row. When this filter is applied, each output row includes the first N cells from the input row and omits all of the following cells from that row. The first N cells are read regardless of which column they are in, in the order in which they are stored in Bigtable.

To learn more about how data is stored in Bigtable, see Schema design best practices.

A column in a row can contain multiple cells. Each cell contains a value for the column and a unique timestamp. As a result, limiting a row to N cells might differ from retrieving the first N columns from the row. For example, if you use a filter with a cell per row limit of 20 to read a row that has 30 columns, and each column has 10 timestamped cells, the output row returns values from only the first two columns in the row (2 * 10 = 20).

Using this filter in combination with an offset filter is useful for pagination if you need to read a large row.

Cells per row offset

This filter omits the first N cells from each output row. All of the remaining cells are included in the output row. The first N cells are skipped regardless of which column they are in.

A column in a row can contain multiple cells. Each cell contains a value for the column and a unique timestamp. As a result, skipping the first N cells from a row might differ from skipping the first N columns in the row. For example, if you use a filter with a cell per row offset of 20 to read a row that has 30 columns, and each column has 10 timestamped cells, the output row returns values all cells in the row except for those in the first two columns (2 * 10 = 20).

If you are also using an interleave filter, and the interleave filter produces duplicate copies of a cell, each copy counts towards the offset.

Column family regex

This filter includes cells in the output row only if the column family for a cell matches a regular expression.

The regular expression must use RE2 syntax. The regular expression must not contain the : character, even if the character is not used as a literal. Because column families cannot contain newline characters, you can use either . or \C as the wildcard expression.

Value range

This filter includes cells in the output row only if their values are within a specific range. You specify the range by providing a start value and an end value.

To get cells whose value comes before a specific value, specify that value as the exclusive end value, and omit the start value.
To get cells whose value is equal to or after a specific value, specify that value as the inclusive start value, and omit the end value.

Value regex

This filter includes cells in the output row only if the value of the cell matches a regular expression.

The regular expression must use RE2 syntax. Because values can contain arbitrary bytes, including newline characters, you should use \C as the wildcard expression in most cases. The . expression does not match newline characters.

Timestamp range

This filter includes cells in the output row only if their timestamps are within a specific range. You specify the range by providing a start time, which is inclusive, and an end time, which is exclusive. The default unit is microseconds, and the timestamp must be a multiple of 1,000.

To get cells whose timestamps are older than a specific time, specify that time as the end time, and omit the start time to make it unbounded.
To get cells whose timestamps are equal to or newer than a specific time, specify that time as the start time, and omit the end time to make it unbounded.

Sink

This filter copies all of the input row's cells into the final output row, even if another filter would normally remove or change those cells.

When you use a chain of filters, other limiting filters can only affect their own output row, which becomes the input row for the next filter in the chain. The sink filter is different—it inserts cells directly into the final output row, which appears in the read results.

For example, suppose that you create a chain of two filters:

The sink filter
The block all filter, which deletes all cells from the row

On its own, the block all filter would result in an empty row, which wouldn't be included in the read results. However, the sink filter forces all of the cells from the input row to be copied to the final output row, regardless of what other filters in the chain might do. As a result, combining the sink filter and the block all filter has the same effect as not using a filter at all, and the original input row, with all of its cells, appears in the read results.

Modifying filters

The following sections describe each modifying filter. Modifying filters affect the data or metadata for individual cells.

Apply label

This filter adds a label to all of the cells in a row. Use this filter as part of an interleave to indicate which filter caused a cell to be included in the output row. Your application can use each cell's label to perform additional client-side processing.

Each label must be no longer than 15 characters. In addition, each label must match the RE2 regular expression [a-z0-9\\-]+.

Each cell can have only one label. As a result, a chain of filters can include the apply label filter only once.

Composing filters

The following sections describe each composing filter. Composing filters allow you to combine multiple filters into one, which makes it possible to apply more than one filter to a single read request.

Chain

This filter applies a series of filters, in order, to each output row. A chain filter is like using a logical AND.

Each filter in the chain sees only the output of the previous filter. For example, if you chain two filters, and the first filter removes half of the cells from the output row, the second filter does not have access to the cells that were removed.

In other words, the order of the filters is important. If you change the order of chained filters, you might get different data in your output rows.

Interleave

This filter sends the input row through multiple component filters, generating a temporary output row from each component filter. All of the cells from the temporary output rows are then combined into a final output row. An interleave filter is like using a logical OR.

Interleaves can cause cells to be duplicated in the output row. For example, if your interleave includes two filters, and both filters include a specific cell in their temporary output rows, the final output row will include two copies of that cell.

If the component filters output multiple cells that all have the same column family, column qualifier, and timestamp, the final output row will group all of those cells together in an unspecified order.

Condition

This filter applies either a true filter or a false filter to the input row.

To choose between the true and false filters, a predicate filter is applied to the input row. If the predicate filter's output contains at least one cell, the true filter is applied. If the predicate filter's output is empty, the false filter is applied.

The predicate filter's output row is used only to choose between the true and false filters. It does not appear in the response to your read request.

The predicate filter is not executed atomically with the true or false filter. In other words, the data in the input row can change between the time when the predicate filter is executed and the time when the true or false filter is executed. This behavior can lead to inconsistent or unexpected results.

When you use the condition filter, you can omit the true or false filter. Omitting a filter is the same as specifying the block all filter. If the predicate filter chooses a condition that you omitted, the output row will be empty.
