Mighty Hbase users, 

I have few questions and I'd really appreciate it if someone can clarify
them.

1) I want to know if Hbase inherently supports atomic append functionality
like get and put. For my work, I would be using OpenTSDB which is a layer on
top of AsynchHBase and AsynchHBase doesnt work with HBase client (which
supports atomic append).

2) If I understand correctly, atomic append of HBase client internally does
a get and put instead of actually appending to the end of the cell. If
that's the case, I wonder how does this functionality is of much use in
terms of performance. In our case, we would like a very light weight append
functionality. I'd like to know if there are any plans of adding this
feature to HBase main in the near future.

Thanks,
Chaitanya
