stack commented on HBASE-4102:
------------------------------
Fix copyright on commit (Remove it I'd say.. this line "Copyright 2010 The
Apache Software Foundation"... these are no longer necessary ... just the
license).
I like your no-cluster-spinup test of testAppend in HRegion and the "Ultimate
Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life,"
This seems like a good idea '+ // TODO: refactor to derive from Put?' but I'm
ok w/ it going in as is.
Add Append class comment when you commit. Say basically what its about.
+1 on commit.
> atomicAppend: A put that appends to the latest version of a cell; i.e. reads
> current value then adds the bytes offered by the client to the tail and
> writes out a new entry

> Its come up a few times that clients want to add to an existing cell rather
> than make a new cell each time. At our place, the frontend keeps a list of
> urls a user has visited -- their md5s -- and updates it as user progresses.
> Rather than read, modify client-side, then write new value back to hbase, it
> would be sweet if could do it all in one operation in hbase server. TSDB
> aims to be space efficient. Rather than pay the cost of the KV wrapper per
> metric, it would rather have a KV for an interval an in this KV have a value
> that is all the metrics for the period.
> It could be done as a coprocessor but this feels more like a fundamental
> feature.
> Benoît suggests that atomicAppend take a flag to indicate whether or not the
> client wants to see the resulting cell; often a client won't want to see the
> result and in this case, why pay the price formulating and delivering a
> response that client just drops.
