Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-9612:
----------------------------------------
I could imagine some scenarios that would make sense if we have callbacks or
multithreaded clients sharing the request: the client code would send a stream
of gets, puts, and writes. I don't have a simple use case that would need it.
What's much more important is the possibility to batch checkAndPut, and mix
them with puts.
bq. being able to batch edits across regions in one RPC call is pretty
important.

> The old (pre-PB) "multi" and "multiPut" RPCs allowed one to batch edits
> destined to different regions. Seems like we've lost this ability after the
> switch to protobufs.
> The {{MultiRequest}} only contains one {{RegionSpecifier}}, and a list of
> {{MultiAction}}. The {{MultiAction}} message is contains either a single
> {{MutationProto}} or a {{Get}} (but not both – so its name is misleading as
> there is nothing "multi" about it). Also it seems redundant with
> {{MultiGetRequest}}, I'm not sure what's the point of supporting {{Get}} in
> {{MultiAction}}.
> I propose that we change {{MultiRequest}} to be a just a list of
> {{MultiAction}}, and {{MultiAction}} will contain the {{RegionSpecifier}},
> the {{bool atomic}} and a list of {{MutationProto}}. This would be a
> non-backward compatible protobuf change.
> If we want we can support mixing edits and reads, in which case we'd also add
> a list of {{Get}} in {{MultiAction}}, and we'd have support having both that
> list and the list of {{MutationProto}} set at the same time. But this is a
> bonus and can be done later (in a backward compatible manner, hence no need
> to rush on this one).
