Answer 1

A1. hbase(main):015:0> count 'table_name', INTERVAL => 1

A2. Use RowKey filter with SubstringComparator.

Usage :

hbase(main):003:0> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.CompareFilter
hbase(main):005:0> import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.SubstringComparator
hbase(main):006:0> scan 'test', {FILTER => org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.RowFilter.new(CompareFilter::CompareOp.valueOf('EQUAL'),SubstringComparator.new("word_by_which_you_want_to_search"))}

Answer 2

KeyOnlyFilter - takes no arguments. Returns the key portion of each key-value pair.

Syntax: KeyOnlyFilter ()

Answer 3

Earlier solution would be:

scan 'test', { 
  COLUMNS => ['col_family_name:col_name'], 
  FILTER => "RowFilter(=, 'substring:the_string_to_be_compared')" 
}
