------------------------------------
Summary: Table#checkAndPut() docs are too vague
Key: HBASE-16000
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16000
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
Priority: Minor
The docs for our CAS operations that accept a {{CompareOp}} are too vague.
They're copied from the part that implies {{CompareOp.EQUAL}}, which means they
don't tell you how your op, the provided {{value}}, and any present value are
compared.
Only by digging into HRegion.java can I see that the operation is, for example
with CompareOp.GREATER, we get {{value.compareTo(existingKeyValue) > 0}}.
Javadocs should be explicit about the order of operands.
