Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-10254:
----------------------------------------
bq. I need to be able to control the timestamp of the cell which the API
doesn't let me do either
Can't Increment#add(Cell cell) help here?
> 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 if the behavior is done optionally. In addition,
> Increment does not allow me to specify the timestamp to use for the KeyValue.
> This should be added as well.
