Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-3246:
--------------------------------------
Writing the javadoc for these methods, it seems like people could get easily
confused. Probably should have called the original method
{{incrementColumn()}} and then just add a second method w/ a boolean about
whether you want to sum with existing or replace existing.
Will put up a patch with what I came up based on my original description with
but could use some input from others.
> Add API to Increment client class that increments rather than replaces the
> amount for a column when done multiple times

> In the new Increment class, the API to add columns is {{addColumn()}}. If
> you do this multiple times for an individual column, the amount to increment
> by is replaced. I think this is the right way for this method to work and it
> is javadoc'd with the behavior.
> We should add a new method, {{incrementColumn()}} which will increment any
> existing amount for the specified column rather than replacing it.
