Hi Folks, I am using the HBase’s timestamp/version concept to track aggregates/counts for time periods/spans.
The put function allows me to update a specific version, ie. put(rk).addColumn(cf, column, version, value) But I can’t find a way of incrementing a specific version ie. increment(rk).addColumn(cf, column, version, value) doesn’t exist. I can only find increment(rk).addColumn(cf, column, value) which exhibits the default behaviour of taking the latest version of the cell, incrementing it’s value and updating the timestamp/version with current-timestamp-millis. What I’d really like is an increment to the value in the specified cell/version without the version update. Am I missing something, is this not possible for some reason in not getting, or would it be a good feature request? Thanks again for a fantastic platform! -Alex.
