------------------------------
Summary: Add a no-read Append
Key: HBASE-5993
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5993
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: regionserver
Affects Versions: 0.94.0
Reporter: Jacques
HBASE-4102 added an atomic append. For high performance situations, it would
be helpful to be able to do appends that don't actually require a read of the
existing value. This would be useful in building a growing set of values. Our
original use case was for implementing a form of search in HBase where a cell
would contain a list of document ids associated with a particular keyword for
search. However it seems like it would also be useful to provide substantial
performance improvements for most Append scenarios.
Within the client API, the simplest way to implement this would be to leverage
the existing Append api. If the Append is marked as setReturnResults(false),
use this code path. If result return is requested, use the existing Append
implementation.
