But this will require an extra RPC call.

Yes, but very rarely. The point of using memstore_only operation is to achieve 
better performance/latency in 99% of calls, when data, with a very high 
probability is in a memstore.

Is it not possible to have something like MEMSTORE_ONLY_ATTRIBUTE_ELSE_NORMAL 
where if you have something in the memstore you return, and if not you do a 
"normal" operation without having to go back to the client?

Yes, of course, but I think this should be additional hint/attribute of an 
operation.

> This is short-circuit read for get/scan when recent data (version) of a cell 
> can be found only in MemStore (with very high probability). 
> Good examples are: Atomic counters and appends. This feature will allow to 
> bypass completely store file scanners and improve performance and latency.
