Working with data filters.

Introduction

RTI Connext supports filtering data either during the exchange from dds::pub::DataWriter to dds::sub::DataReader, or after the data has been stored at the dds::sub::DataReader.

Filtering during the exchange process is performed by a dds::topic::ContentFilteredTopic, which is created by the dds::sub::DataReader as a way of specifying a subset of the data samples that it wishes to receive.

Filtering samples that have already been received by the dds::sub::DataReader is performed by creating a dds::sub::cond::QueryCondition, which can then used to check for matching samples, be alerted when matching samples arrive, or retrieve matching samples.

Filtering may be performed on any topic, either keyed or un-keyed, except the built-in topics. Filtering may be performed on any field, subset of fields, or combination of fields, subject only to the limitations of the filter syntax.
