> My main concern is inconsistent behavior. Iterators that generate data will work when there is existing files... but not work when there isn't. That is a good point. When I was thinking about this, I thought the generator iterators would only generate data when the source iterator was empty, but I suppose that does not have to be the case. If a tablet has data, then a generator iterator would have to merge the generated data with existing data while respecting sorting. Also the generator iterator would need to only generate data within the bounds of the table. Actually writing one of these that is correct seems non-trivial. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
