Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4507: ------------------------------------ bq. So, each time we set a region location (hostname + port + startcode), we'd also update a new column, say info:editid, which would have a uuid value. We'd then do checkAndPut on the info:editid column? Yep, exactly. With this method we wouldn't have to change/add APIs here... bq. We'd still need to read whatever this value was at start of region open. Right, but you have to do that with the timestamp method, too. > Create checkAndPut variant that exposes timestamp / UUID > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4507 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4507 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: stack > > Michael checked the checkAndPut which doesn't expose timestamp.
