-----------------------------
Summary: Table#puts(List<Put>) operation is indeterminate; remove!
Key: HBASE-13271
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13271
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: stack
Another API issue found by [~larsgeorge]:
"Table.put(List<Put) is questionable after the API change."
{code}
[Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: Table.put(List<Put>) is weird since you cannot
flush partial lists
[Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: Say out of 5 the third is broken, then the put()
call returns with a local exception (say empty Put) and then you have 2 that
are in the buffer
[Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: but how to you force commit them?
[Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: In the past you would call flushCache(), but that
is "gone" now
[Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: and flush() is not available on a Table
[Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: And you cannot access the underlying
BufferedMutation neither
[Mar-17 9:23 AM] Lars George: You can *only* add more Puts if you can, or call
close()
[Mar-17 9:23 AM] Lars George: that is just weird to explain
{code}
So, Table needs to get flush back or we deprecate this method or it flushes
immediately and does not return until complete in the implementation.
