Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-10254:
----------------------------------------
So when the cell does not exist, u dont want to create a new one with 0 value
right? Yes this will be a BC issue if changing the current way. We can do it
in optional way.
> 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.
