我是通过以下方法实现的：

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.CompareFilter
   import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.SubstringComparator
   scan 'tableName', {FILTER => org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.RowFilter.new(CompareFilter::CompareOp.valueOf('EQUAL'),SubstringComparator.new("SubString"))}

通过java

FilterList filterList = new FilterList(Operator.MUST_PASS_ONE);
    List<String> referenceList = new ArrayList<String>();
    ResultScanner results = null;
    String substr= "V1";
    RowFilter rowfilter = new RowFilter(CompareOp.EQUAL, new SubstringComparator(substr));
    filterList.addFilter(rowfilter);
    Scan prefilterScan = new Scan();
    prefilterScan.setFilter(filterList);
