----------------------------------
Hi [~Jan Hentschel], thanks for the reply! Got your idea, but I might have a
different opinion.
You mentioned
bq. As you see, there's only a single call to add(), which makes it safe to
assume that the size of the list will be 1
It might be not like that. add() could be called several times to an Append
object, to add several cells. similarly, addColumn() could also be called
several times to an Append object to add several families, qualifiers and
values.
{code}
Append a1 = new Append(row1);
a1.add(c1);
a1.add(c2);
a1.add(c3);
...
table1.append(a1);
{code}
So setting initial capacity to 1 is good when only adding one cell or one
family/qualifier/value to the Append object and make HTable process it, but
when adding multiple cells, initial capacity = 1 will inflate the backing array
more frequently than setting the initial capacity to a larger number.
It varies in different use scenarios. Does it make sense to you?

> In addxxx() of Put and Increment, Mutation#getCellList(family) is called to
> get cell list from familyMap. But in the other 2 sub-class of Mutation:
> Append and Delete, the logic like Mutation#getCellList(family) is used, like
> {code}
> List<Cell> list = familyMap.get(family);
> if(list == null) {
> list = new ArrayList<>(1);
> }
> {code}
> in
> {code}
> public Delete addColumn(byte [] family, byte [] qualifier, long timestamp)
> {code}
> of Delete
> We could make them to call Mutation#getCellList(family) to get better
> encapsulation
