I have a table with rows which have 3 column values in one column family, and a column visibility.
There are situations where I will want to replace the row content with a new column visibility; I understand that the visibility attributes are immutable, so I will have to delete and re-put. Am I better off doing: 1. BatchDeleter with authorizations to allow access, set range to the key in question, call delete, and then put in mutations with the new visibility 2. Create mutations with a putDelete followed by a put with the new visibility for each value 3. Something else entirely? For option #2, can I simply do a putDelete on the column family/qualifier? Or do I need to "know" the old authorizations to put in a visibility expression with the putDelete? For all of these, can a client get up-to-the-minute results immediately after? Or does some kind of compaction need to occur first?
