question: keeps records if their value is not equal to the provided value . nulls are treated the same way the java programming language does . for example : noteq column , null will keep all records whose value is not null . noteq column , 7 will keep all records whose value is not 7 , including records whose value is null . note : this is different from how some query languages handle null . for example , sql and pig will drop nulls when you filter by not equal to 7 . to achieve similar behavior in this api , do : and noteq column , 7 , noteq column , null note : be sure to read the #lt , #lteq , #gt , #gteq operator 's docsfor how they handle nulls concode_field_sep PlaceHolder placeHolder concode_field_sep FilterPredicate or concode_elem_sep LtEq<T> ltEq concode_elem_sep UserDefined<T,U> userDefined concode_elem_sep UserDefined<T,U> userDefined concode_elem_sep Lt<T> lt concode_elem_sep BooleanColumn booleanColumn concode_elem_sep GtEq<T> gtEq concode_elem_sep IntColumn intColumn concode_elem_sep Eq<T> eq concode_elem_sep Gt<T> gt concode_elem_sep DoubleColumn doubleColumn concode_elem_sep BinaryColumn binaryColumn concode_elem_sep FilterPredicate not concode_elem_sep FilterPredicate and concode_elem_sep LongColumn longColumn concode_elem_sep FloatColumn floatColumn
