Solomon Duskis commented on HBASE-12802:
----------------------------------------

[~stack]: I'll run the tests a few times.  The premise here is that 
flushCommits() are only necessary after a setAutoFlushTo(false) is called.

{code:title=HTable.java|borderStyle=solid}
  @Override
  public void put(final Put put)
      throws InterruptedIOException, RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException {
    doPut(put);
    if (autoFlush) {
      flushCommits();
    }
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritDoc}
   */
  @Override
  public void put(final List<Put> puts)
      throws InterruptedIOException, RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException {
    for (Put put : puts) {
      doPut(put);
    }
    if (autoFlush) {
      flushCommits();
    }
  }
{code}

Puts have implicit flushCommits() calls when autoFlush is true.  Deletes are 
not affected by autoFlush() and are not directly impacted by flushCommits() 
since deletes are not added to the writeAysncBufferr.

If I'd have to guess, I would say that flushCommits() used to affect all 
mutations, but along the way, there were dramatic changes to how the various 
mutation types are handled.

> It looks like there are a lot of places where flushCommits() are called on 
> tables that do not have autoFlush turned on.  That might be a legacy concern 
> from pre-autoFlush days.  HBASE-12728 will likely result in removing the 
> flushCommits() method from Table.  The patch for this issue should remove all 
> unnecessary calls to flushCommit() to prepare for the full fix..
