Yes this is correct.
Coprocessors / RegionObservers and bulk loading have been developing separately in parallel. Now that bulk loading changes are settling down, I've been considering adding CP hooks into the bulk load process, at the HRegion level, without complicating atomicity. A simple and straightforward course of action is to give the CP the option of rewriting the submitted store file(s) before the regionserver attempts to validate and move them into the store. This is similar to how CPs are hooked into compaction. Would this be sufficient for what you want to do?
