stack commented on HBASE-2648:
------------------------------

There is this clause in the description that tries to keep us away from a soln. 
that works for Put and Delete only:

.bq Related, HBASE-1845 wants to do bulk put/gets/deletes all in same way and 
HBASE-2609 is related in that it asks that the Delete and Put API work the same.

1845 is bulk ops but for Put/Delete and Get.  That issue is about doing each 
mutually exclusively.  I'd imagine better would be being able to do a bulk ops 
that is a mixture of all three and if a smattering all land in the same row, 
then the bulk ops would be done atomically.

HBASE-2609, as I read it, recognizes that Get and Delete are very alike and so 
API should be alike.


> API Rework: Have Delete and Put implement same Interface or subclass same 
> 'Mutation' ancestor (Get too?  And Result?)

> Our API has a problem in that we can't pass a mix of Put and Delete edits.  
> We see it in various places.
> HBASE-1626 tried to add being able to emit Puts and Deletes from your Map or 
> Reduce but as HBASE-1969 points out, it won't work as done.
> Ryan talks about need of being able to pass a set of Deletes and Puts against 
> a single row so we can do a bunch of edits all under the umbrella of a single 
> row *lock*.
> Related, HBASE-1845 wants to do bulk put/gets/deletes all in same way and 
> HBASE-2609 is related in that it asks that the Delete and Put API work the 
> same.
> For at least the first issue, in hbase-1969, "HBASE-1626 does not work as 
> advertised due to lack of "instanceof" check in MR framework", Lars G 
> suggests we have a Mutation class that can carry Deletes and Puts on a row.  
> He notes that the sample client code in the BT table seems to do this.  This 
> Mutation carrying-class could be used to solve the Ryan issue above.
> But maybe we need something more radical, an API overhaul (again) to do 
> something like was proposed long-time ago in hbase-880.  This was an ugly, 
> unfinished proposal but many of the classes shared an ancestor ->
