stack commented on HBASE-880: ----------------------------- .bq . Might have to have batchPut, batchGet, and batchDelete, too, because returns may vary if for example we are going to return timestamps of when the Put happened. I said the above. Turns out my understanding regards overloading in java is incorrect -- you can have different returns as long as the signature varies. This means we do not need the batch versions I talk of above. > Improve the current client API by creating new container classes > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-880 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-880 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client > Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans > Fix For: 0.20.0 > > Attachments: 880.patch, 880proposal4plus-v2.patch, > 880proposal4plus.patch, 880proposal5-v2.patch, 880proposal5-v2.png, > 880proposal5.patch, 880proposal5.png, hbase-880-patch.jpg, > hbase-880-proposal4.patch, HBASE-880-proposal6-v2.txt, > HBASE-880-proposal6-v3.txt, HBASE-880-proposal6-v4.txt, hbase-880-v1.patch, > hbase-880-v2.patch, HBASE-880_Design_Doc.pdf, HBASE-880_Design_Doc_v2.pdf, > HBASE-880_Design_Doc_v3.pdf, hbase_client_classes.png, > NewCilentAPIProposoal4.gif, proposal2.jpg, proposed.jpg > > Original Estimate: 240h > Remaining Estimate: 240h > > The current API does not scale very well. For each new feature, we have to > add many methods to take care of all the overloads. Also, the need to batch > row operations (gets, inserts, deletes) implies that we have to manage some > "entities" like we are able to do with BatchUpdate but not with the other > operations. The RowLock should be an attribute of such an entity. > The scope of this jira is only to replace current API with another > feature-compatible one, other methods will be added in other issues. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
