Hey guys,
in my application the HBase timestamp is used as version in my logic.
I would like to know what is the best way to insert a new record and get its
timestamp.
I have come up with two possibilities:
/* I could force timestamp, but it is not a good idea since different servers
* write into HBase which could lead to crazy behavior */
new Put(row, timestamp);
/* Or I could write into HBase and read it back. But I don't know how much
overhead
* this option causes.*/
@Override
public void put(Put put) throws IOException {
byte[] row = put.getRow();
hTableInterface.put(put);
KeyValue kv = hTableInterface.get(new Get(row)).getColumnLatest(family,
qualifier);
long version = kv.getTimestamp();
}
Is there any better way to do it?
Thanks,
Pablo
