Description

The current IntersectingIterator seeks to discrete terms that are encoded into the column families to find all column qualifiers that share all of the discrete column families of interest (with the additional ability to negate some of the column families). Looking at the current IntersectingIterator code, it should be possible to return all column qualifiers with a column family within a given range.

An example of this is finding all terms where NAME=Joe and (AGE>=30 && AGE<60) and STATE!=MD. If an example is provided, numerical types like the age could easily be encoded using the new Lexicoders.
