-------------------------------------
Summary: Increment does not extend Mutation but probably should
Key: HBASE-7114
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7114
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Client
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Minor
Increment is the only operation in the class of mutators that does not extend
Mutation. It mostly duplicates what Mutation provides, but not quite. The
signatures for setWriteToWAL and getFamilyMap are slightly different. This can
be inconvenient because it requires special case code and therefore could be
considered an API design nit. Unfortunately it is not a simple change: The
interface is marked stable and the internals of the family map are different
from other mutation types. The latter is why I suspect this was not addressed
when Mutation was introduced.
