Ted Yu commented on HBASE-3787: ------------------------------- Maybe we can create subtasks for this JIRA, beginning with RPC and WALEdit changes. That way, 0.96 RC0 doesn't have to wait for the full implementation. > Increment is non-idempotent but client retries RPC > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3787 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3787 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Client > Affects Versions: 0.96.0, 0.94.4 > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.96.0 > > > The HTable.increment() operation is non-idempotent. The client retries the > increment RPC a few times (as specified by configuration) before throwing an > error to the application. This makes it possible that the same increment call > be applied twice at the server. > For increment operations, is it better to use > HConnectionManager.getRegionServerWithoutRetries()? Another option would be > to enhance the IPC module to make the RPC server correctly identify if the > RPC is a retry attempt and handle accordingly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
