Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-3246:
--------------------------------------
I would be okay with just removing addColumn and having a single call,
incrementColumn(). That method would be additive w/ existing calls for a given
column. If you wanted to somehow undo existing increments of columns, you
would have to start over with a new Increment.
I could also add a separate call, resetColumn() but then we start to get more
confusing again.
Everyone okay with removing addColumn() and just leaving incrementColumn()?
> 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.
