This looks really good! Couple of minor comments, but overall it looks fine.
> Implement pure client side transactional index maintenance
> ----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PHOENIX-4278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4278
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: James Taylor
> Assignee: Ohad Shacham
> Priority: Major
>
> The index maintenance for transactions follows the same model as non
> transactional tables - coprocessor based on data table updates that looks up
> previous row value to perform maintenance. This is necessary for non
> transactional tables to ensure the rows are locked so that a consistent view
> may be obtained. However, for transactional tables, the time stamp oracle
> ensures uniqueness of time stamps (via transaction IDs) and the filtering
> handles a scan seeing the "true" last committed value for a row. Thus,
> there's no hard dependency to perform this on the server side.
> Moving the index maintenance to the client side would prevent any RS->RS RPC
> calls (which have proved to be troublesome for HBase). It would require
> returning more data to the client (i.e. the prior row value), but this seems
> like a reasonable tradeoff.
