Description

Currently, the WAL Pretty Printer has an option to filter the keys with an exact match of row. However, it is super useful sometimes to have a row key prefix instead of an exact match.

The prefix can act as a full match filter as well due to the nature of the prefix.

Secondly, we are not having the cell type in the WAL Pretty Printer in any of the branches.
Lastly, the option rowkey only options prints additional stuff as well.
