dhruba borthakur commented on HBASE-3434:
-----------------------------------------

Using co-processors seems to be the right thing to do. if I build it this way, 
do I still contribute the code back to the Apache HBase svn tree? if so, where 
will it be located?

> ability to increment a counter without reading original value from storage

> There are a bunch of applications that do read-modify-write operations on 
> HBase constructs, e.g  a counter; The counter value has to be read in from 
> hdfs before it can be incremented.  We have an application where the number 
> of increments on a counter far outnumbers the number of times the counter is 
> used or read. For these type of applications, it will be very beneficial to 
> not have to read in the counter from disk before it can be incremented.
