stack commented on HBASE-10254:
-------------------------------
Sounds good. Should not be an optional return. Rather define null return as
the result when the increment row does not exist.
> Optionally return null when attempting to Increment KeyValue that doesn't
> exist

> Instead of creating a new KeyValue starting from 0 when an Increment is done
> on a row that doesn't exist, we should optionally return null. A Get is
> already being done, so it's easy to detect this case. This can be done in a
> backward compatible manner.
