+Filter
+=============
+
+## Operator Objective
+This operator receives an POJO ([Plain Old Java Object](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Java_Object)) as an incoming tuple
+and based on the filter condition it emits filtered tuples on one output port and rest on another output port.
+
+Filter operator supports quasi Java expressions to specify filter rule.
+
+Filter operator does not hold any state and is **idempotent**, **fault-tolerant** and **statically/dynamically partitionable**.
+
+## Operator Usecase
+1. ***Customer data*** usually contains a field customer category/segment. One wants some analysis to be done for specific customer segment. One could use this filter operator to filter the records based on segment for some analysis for specific customer segment.
+2. ***Log data*** processing pipeline may want to filter logs from specific machine/router/switch.
+
+## Operator Information
+1. Operator location: ***[malhar-library](https://github.com/apache/apex-malhar/tree/master/library)***
+2. Available since: ***3.5.0***
+3. Operator state: ***Evolving***
+3. Java Packages:
+ * Operator: ***[com.datatorrent.lib.filter.FilterOperator](https://www.datatorrent.com/docs/apidocs/com/datatorrent/lib/filter/FilterOperator.html)***

+
+## Limitations
+Current `FilterOperator` has following limitation:
+
+1. [APEXMALHAR-2175](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXMALHAR-2175) : Filter condition is not able to correctly handle java reserved words.
