Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-4605:
------------------------------------
Sorry about the quality of these patches Ted, something must be messed up with
my IDE to not be catching some of this...
Anyways, yes, your right, that is broken. Comes from the switch to throwing the
ConstraintException rather allowing an exception to be thrown.
Also, it looks like testEnableDisableRemove has gotten messed up from dropping
the getValueAsBytes(). Fixing and reposting.

> What I would like to propose is a simple interface that people can use to
> implement a 'constraint' (matching the classic database definition). This
> would help ease of adoption by helping HBase more easily check that box, help
> minimize code duplication across organizations, and lead to easier adoption.
> Essentially, people would implement a 'Constraint' interface for checking
> keys before they are put into a table. Puts that are valid get written to the
> table, but if not people can will throw an exception that gets propagated
> back to the client explaining why the put was invalid.
> Constraints would be set on a per-table basis and the user would be expected
> to ensure the jars containing the constraint are present on the machines
> serving that table.
> Yes, people could roll their own mechanism for doing this via coprocessors
> each time, but this would make it easier to do so, so you only have to
> implement a very minimal interface and not worry about the specifics.
