The RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException will have the details. This API needs to be cleaned up.
In general the HBase API is designed so that all operations are idempotent, so that they can be redone. If a batch put returns without any error you know all puts are safely at a RegionServer. If there's an error you might have partial results. You best option is to retry again. -- Lars ________________________________ From: S.

I checked the Java doc on "put(List<Put> puts)" of HTableInterface and it does not say how to get the failed rows in case exception happened (see below): can I assume the failed rows are contained in "puts" list? Throws: InterruptedIOException RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException Compared to the Java doc of "delete(List<Delete> deletes)", it clearly says how to get failed rows: Throws: IOException - if a remote or network exception occurs. In that case the deletes argument will contain the Delete instances that have not be successfully applied.
