Result (Apache HBase - Client 2.6.3 API)

All Implemented Interfaces:

CellScannable, CellScanner
```
@InterfaceAudience.Public
public class Result
extends Object
implements CellScannable, CellScanner
```
Single row result of a Get or Scan query.
This class is NOT THREAD SAFE.
Convenience methods are available that return various Map structures and values directly.
To get a complete mapping of all cells in the Result, which can include multiple families and multiple versions, use getMap().
To get a mapping of each family to its columns (qualifiers and values), including only the latest version of each, use getNoVersionMap(). To get a mapping of qualifiers to latest values for an individual family use getFamilyMap(byte[]).
To get the latest value for a specific family and qualifier use getValue(byte[], byte[]). A Result is backed by an array of Cell objects, each representing an HBase cell defined by the row, family, qualifier, timestamp, and value.
The underlying Cell objects can be accessed through the method listCells(). This will create a List from the internal Cell []. Better is to exploit the fact that a new Result instance is a primed CellScanner; just call advance() and current() to iterate over Cells as you would any CellScanner. Call cellScanner() to reset should you need to iterate the same Result over again (CellScanners are one-shot). If you need to overwrite a Result with another Result instance -- as in the old 'mapred' RecordReader next invocations -- then create an empty Result with the null constructor and in then use copyFrom(Result)

public Result()
```
    Creates an empty Result w/ no KeyValue payload; returns null if you call rawCells(). Use this to represent no results if null won't do or in old 'mapred' as opposed to 'mapreduce' package MapReduce where you need to overwrite a Result instance with a copyFrom(Result) call.

    Note: You must ensure that the keyvalues are already sorted.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cells - array of cells
  - create

                            Boolean exists,

  - createCursorResult
```
public static Result createCursorResult(Cursor cursor)
```
  - getRow
```
public byte[] getRow()
```
    Method for retrieving the row key that corresponds to the row from which this Result was created.
  - rawCells
```
public Cell[] rawCells()
```
    Return the array of Cells backing this Result instance. The array is sorted from smallest -> largest using the CellComparator. The array only contains what your Get or Scan specifies and no more. For example if you request column "A" 1 version you will have at most 1 Cell in the array. If you request column "A" with 2 version you will have at most 2 Cells, with the first one being the newer timestamp and the second being the older timestamp (this is the sort order defined by CellComparator). If columns don't exist, they won't be present in the result. Therefore if you ask for 1 version all columns, it is safe to iterate over this array and expect to see 1 Cell for each column and no more. This API is faster than using getFamilyMap() and getMap()
    
    Returns:
    
    array of Cells; can be null if nothing in the result
  - listCells
```
public List<Cell> listCells()
```
    Create a sorted list of the Cell's in this result. Since HBase 0.20.5 this is equivalent to raw().
    
    Returns:
    
    sorted List of Cells; can be null if no cells in the result
  - getColumnCells
```
public List<Cell> getColumnCells(byte[] family,
                                 byte[] qualifier)
```
    Return the Cells for the specific column. The Cells are sorted in the CellComparator order. That implies the first entry in the list is the most recent column. If the query (Scan or Get) only requested 1 version the list will contain at most 1 entry. If the column did not exist in the result set (either the column does not exist or the column was not selected in the query) the list will be empty. Also see getColumnLatest which returns just a Cell
    
    Parameters:
    
    family - the family
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of Cells for this column or empty list if the column did not exist in the result set

                           throws Exception
```
    Does a deep comparison of two Results, down to the byte arrays.
    
    Parameters:
    
    res1 - first result to compare
    
    res2 - second result to compare
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception - Every difference is throwing an exception

                           throws Exception
```
    Does a deep comparison of two Results, down to the byte arrays.
    
    Parameters:
    
    res1 - first result to compare
    
    res2 - second result to compare
    
    verbose - includes string representation for all cells in the exception if true; otherwise include rowkey only
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception - Every difference is throwing an exception
  - createCompleteResult
```
public static Result createCompleteResult(Iterable<Result> partialResults)
                                   throws IOException
```
    Forms a single result from the partial results in the partialResults list. This method is useful for reconstructing partial results on the client side.
    
    Parameters:
    
    partialResults - list of partial results
    
    Returns:
    
    The complete result that is formed by combining all of the partial results together
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - A complete result cannot be formed because the results in the partial list come from different rows
  - getTotalSizeOfCells
```
public static long getTotalSizeOfCells(Result result)
```
    Get total size of raw cells
    
    Returns:
    
    Total size.
  - copyFrom
```
public void copyFrom(Result other)
```
    Copy another Result into this one. Needed for the old Mapred framework
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if invoked on instance of EMPTY_RESULT (which is supposed to be immutable).
  - cellScanner
```
public CellScanner cellScanner()
```
    Specified by:
    
    cellScanner in interface CellScannable
  - current
```
public Cell current()
```
    Specified by:
    
    current in interface CellScanner
  - advance
```
public boolean advance()
```
    Specified by:
    
    advance in interface CellScanner
  - getExists
```
public Boolean getExists()
```
  - setExists
```
public void setExists(Boolean exists)
```
  - isStale
```
public boolean isStale()
```
    Whether or not the results are coming from possibly stale data. Stale results might be returned if Consistency is not STRONG for the query.
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether or not the results are coming from possibly stale data.
  - isPartial
```
@Deprecated
public boolean isPartial()
```
    Deprecated. the word 'partial' ambiguous, use mayHaveMoreCellsInRow() instead. Deprecated since 1.4.0.
    
    Whether or not the results are partial.
    
    See Also:
    
    mayHaveMoreCellsInRow()
  - mayHaveMoreCellsInRow
```
public boolean mayHaveMoreCellsInRow()
```
    For scanning large rows, the RS may choose to return the cells chunk by chunk to prevent OOM or timeout. This flag is used to tell you if the current Result is the last one of the current row. False means this Result is the last one. True means there MAY be more cells belonging to the current row. If you don't use Scan.setAllowPartialResults(boolean) or Scan.setBatch(int), this method will always return false because the Result must contains all cells in one Row.
  - setStatistics
```
@InterfaceAudience.Private
public void setStatistics(RegionLoadStats loadStats)
```
    Set load information about the region to the information about the result
    
    Parameters:
    
    loadStats - statistics about the current region from which this was returned
  - setMetrics
```
@InterfaceAudience.Private
public void setMetrics(QueryMetrics metrics)
```
  - getStats
```
public RegionLoadStats getStats()
```
    Returns the associated statistics about the region from which this was returned. Can be null if stats are disabled.
  - getMetrics
```
public QueryMetrics getMetrics()
```
    Returns the query metrics, or null if we do not enable metrics.
  - isCursor
```
public boolean isCursor()
```
    Return true if this Result is a cursor to tell users where the server has scanned. In this Result the only meaningful method is getCursor(). while (r = scanner.next() && r != null) { if(r.isCursor()){ // scanning is not end, it is a cursor, save its row key and close scanner if you want, or // just continue the loop to call next(). } else { // just like before } } // scanning is end Scan.setNeedCursorResult(boolean) Cursor getCursor()
  - getCursor
```
public Cursor getCursor()
```
    Return the cursor if this Result is a cursor result. Scan.setNeedCursorResult(boolean) Cursor isCursor()
