Todd Lipcon commented on KUDU-352:
----------------------------------
[~aserbin] - do you think this issue is now fully implemented/resolved in both
the Java and C++ clients? I think you're the latest to look at ordering
semantics from the client API.
> Decide on and implement within-batch ordering for client API
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: KUDU-352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-352
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: M5
> Reporter: Vladimir Feinberg
>
> Currently, the when the client applies a sequence of WriteOperations to a
> session without flushing (within a single batch), the batcher runs tablet
> location lookup asynchronously (see method Batcher::TabletLookupFinished).
> Thus, it is possible that within the same batch, even with manual flushing,
> the PerTSBuffer is flushed out of order (causing operations to arrive
> out-of-order on the server side).
> A contract needs to be designed (and applied to both C++ and Java APIs)
> regarding the strength of the ordering within the batches.
> Some options:
> 1. No order guaranteed (current). Client must manually flush between batches
> to ensure order.
> 2. Per-row order guarantee - operations are sent to the server where for a
> given key, the sequence of operations is preserved.
> 3. Strict ordering guarantee. Independent of keys, order of batch is matched.
> Things to consider:
> -> Is (2) different from (3)? With HybridTime, the client should only see
> changes atomically on a per-batch level with concurrent reads. Then
> between-row operations do not matter (until multi-row transactions are
> introduced).
> -> A flexible version of the API that could include BarrierWriteOperations
> which would allow the user to control order within batches themselves.
> -> Simplifying things entirely, removing all order (force the client to use a
> transaction or flushes to ensure order).
