GK Ephorus created HBASE-12435:
----------------------------------
Summary: The exists method on the HTable-class changes the
passed-in Get-instance
Key: HBASE-12435
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12435
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Client
Affects Versions: 0.98.6.1
Environment: Cloudera Hadoop HBase 5.2.0: 0.98.6.?
Reporter: GK Ephorus
Running an HTable.get right after using HTable.exists using the same instance
of a Get-object yields no results.
Up on inspection of the code we found that the HTable.exists changes the
passed-in Get-object. It changes the property 'checkExistenceOnly' to true
which makes the passed-in Get-object useless for subsequent HTable.get calls.
My suggestion is either:
* indicate this behaviour in the documentation/javadoc
* store the old value of the 'checkExistenceOnly' and restore it using
try-finally.
