[REST] Allow representation to elide row key and column key
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3798
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3798
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Assignee: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Minor
Row and column keys are extracted from the supplied representation (XML, JSON,
protobuf) when the user PUTs or POSTs. The inclusion of the row key in the URI
is redundant. It could be convenient to allow the user to leave out the row key
when building the representation; in which case, the row key supplied in the
URI can be used.
Of course a representation that encodes more than one row wouldn't make sense
for this case.
Likewise, the column key(s) could be elided if supplied in the URI as well.
