    Description

      See following simple unit test first,the rowKey is composed of three PInteger columns,and the slots of SkipScanFilter are:
      [ [[1 - 4]], [5, 7], [[9 - 10]] ],
      When SkipScanFilter.filterKeyValue method is invoked on a KeyValue whose rowKey is [2,7,11], obviously SkipScanFilter.filterKeyValue
      returns ReturnCode.SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT and SkipScanFilter.getNextCellHint returns [3,5,9], but unfortunately, SkipScanFilter.getNextCellHint actually returns [2,8,5,9] , a very strange value, the unit tests failed.

       
          @Test
          public void testNavigate() {
              RowKeySchemaBuilder builder = new RowKeySchemaBuilder(3);
              for(int i=0;i<3;i++) {
                  builder.addField(
                          new PDatum() {
      
                              @Override
                              public boolean isNullable() {
                                  return false;
                              }
      
                              @Override
                              public PDataType getDataType() {
                                  return PInteger.INSTANCE;
                              }
      
                              @Override
                              public Integer getMaxLength() {
                                  return PInteger.INSTANCE.getMaxLength(null);
                              }
      
                              @Override
                              public Integer getScale() {
                                  return PInteger.INSTANCE.getScale(null);
                              }
      
                              @Override
                              public SortOrder getSortOrder() {
                                  return SortOrder.getDefault();
                              }
      
                          }, false, SortOrder.getDefault());
              }
              
              List<List<KeyRange>> rowKeyColumnRangesList=Arrays.asList(      
                      Arrays.asList(
                          PInteger.INSTANCE.getKeyRange(PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(1), true, PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(4), true)),
                      Arrays.asList(
                          KeyRange.getKeyRange(PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(5)),
                          KeyRange.getKeyRange(PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(7))),
                      Arrays.asList(
                          PInteger.INSTANCE.getKeyRange(PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(9), true, PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(10), true))
              );
              
              SkipScanFilter skipScanFilter=new SkipScanFilter(rowKeyColumnRangesList, builder.build());
              
              System.out.println(skipScanFilter);
              
              byte[] rowKey=ByteUtil.concat(
                      PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(2), 
                      PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(7),
                      PInteger.INSTANCE.toBytes(11));
              KeyValue keyValue=KeyValue.createFirstOnRow(rowKey);
              ReturnCode returnCode=skipScanFilter.filterKeyValue(keyValue);
              assertTrue(returnCode == ReturnCode.SEEK_NEXT_USING_HINT);
              Cell nextCellHint=skipScanFilter.getNextCellHint(keyValue);
              assertTrue(Bytes.toStringBinary(CellUtil.cloneRow(nextCellHint)).equals(
              "\\x80\\x00\\x00\\x03\\x80\\x00\\x00\\x05\\x80\\x00\\x00\\x09"));
          }
      

      Let us see what's wrong, first column of rowKey [2,7,11 ] is 2, which is in SkipScanFilter's first slot range [1-4], so position[0] is 0 and we go to the second column 7, which match the second range [7] of SkipScanFilter's second slot [5, 7],so position[1] is 1 and we go to the third column 11, which is bigger than the third slot range [9 - 10],so position[2] is 0 and the SkipScanFilter.ptr which points to current column still stay on the third column. Now we begin to backtrack to second column, because the second range [7] of SkipScanFilter's second slot is singleKey and there is no more range,so position[1] is 0 and we continue to backtrack to first column, because the first slot range [1-4] is not singleKey so we stop backtracking at first column.

      Now the problem comes, in following line 448 of SkipScanFilter.navigate method,SkipScanFilter.setStartKey method is invoked,first copy rowKey columns before SkipScanFilter.ptr to SkipScanFilter.startKey, because now SkipScanFilter.ptr still point to the third column, so copy the first and second columns to SkipScanFilter.startKey,SkipScanFilter.startKey is [2,7] after this step , then setStartKey method copy the lower bound SkipScanFilter.slots from j+1 column, according to SkipScanFilter.position array,because now j is 0, and both position[1] and position[2] are 0, so SkipScanFilter.startKey becomes [2,7,5,9], and in following line 457, ByteUtil.nextKey is invoked on [2,7], [2,7] is incremented to [2,8], finally SkipScanFilter.startKey is [2,8,5,9].

       
      448                    int currentLength = setStartKey(ptr, minOffset, j+1, nSlots, false);
      449                    // From here on, we use startKey as our buffer (resetting minOffset and maxOffset)
      450                    // We've copied the part of the current key above that we need into startKey
      451                    // Reinitialize the iterator to be positioned at previous slot position
      452                    minOffset = 0;
      453                    maxOffset = startKeyLength;
      454                    schema.iterator(startKey, minOffset, maxOffset, ptr, ScanUtil.getRowKeyPosition(slotSpan, j)+1);
      455                    // Do nextKey after setting the accessor b/c otherwise the null byte may have
      456                    // been incremented causing us not to find it
      457                    ByteUtil.nextKey(startKey, currentLength);
      

      From above analysis, we can see the second column is repeatedly copied to SkipScanFilter.startKey, copy 7 to SkipScanFilter.startKey is error ,before SkipScanFilter.setStartKey method is invoked in line 448, we should first move SkipScanFilter.ptr to j+1, that is to say ,following code might be inserted before line 448:

       
                        schema.reposition(
                                  ptr, 
                                  ScanUtil.getRowKeyPosition(slotSpan, i), 
                                  ScanUtil.getRowKeyPosition(slotSpan, j+1), 
                                  minOffset, 
                                  maxOffset, 
                                  slotSpan[j+1]);
      

      Another problem is why the existing SkipScanFilter unit tests are ok? That is because in all existing unit test cases, backtrack column is just before current column which ptr points to, i.e. i==j+1, so the unit tests are ok.

      This issue may not affect the final query result , but obviously, it may lead to the erroneous startKey and cause the Skip Scan inefficient.
