Mighty Hbase users and developers, 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
