Attributes added to Mutation (via setAttribute) will NOT get persistent in cells.. As Ted suggested, tags is the way.. There is no way to pass Tags from client as of now.. I believe u have eventId thing in server side only.. So u can add Tags to cells at server side only (via some CP hooks). Tags getting persisted in HFiles, WAL and getting replicated also.
