Hello Friends, We have a case in our application where we need to update values or increment values only if the row is present. Primary reason being, row key received may be corrupt or invalid. We dont want to create dangling rows.
Obviously, - get row key and check if the row exists, then update is a costly call. 2 round trips for each update - checkAndPut -> one needs to knw row,family,qualifer and value to accomplish this. I initially thought passing just rowkey and value=rowKey will work. But, u need all the arguments. - Is there any hack u can recommend to work around this problem. - Also, for increment, how do I implement it. In short, any update/increment should happen only if row key is present. So this will help me achieve some data integrity Thanks The community is super helpful So Thanks again :) -Sagar
