Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-5044:
----------------------------------------
I'll file a patch that disables this by default.
As a reaction to the older comments above I will say that Phoenix has added the
server side code paths without scale tests of any kind, just with the
assumption that it's somehow better to do more work on the server - it's better
only if we save on the communication path.
> Remove server side mutation code from Phoenix

> This is for *discussion*. Perhaps controversial.
> It generally seems to be a bad - if well-intentioned - idea to trigger
> mutations directly from the server. The main causes are UPSERT SELECT for the
> same table and DELETE FROM.
> IMHO, it's generally better to allow the client to handle this. There might
> be larger network overhead, but we get better chunking, better pacing, and
> behavior more in line with how HBase was intended to work.
> In PHOENIX-5026 I introduced a flag to disable server triggered mutations in
> the two cases mentioned above. I now think it's better to just remove the
> server code and also perform these from the client.
> (Note that server side reads - aggregation, filters, etc - are still insanely
> valuable and not affected by this)
> Let's discuss.
