As of now, any callers directly to WriteClient has to make another call to do validation. I could think of another option. Basically fix all startCommit() methods in WriteClient to take in operationType and do the validation. But there are quite a few callers(30 places) which I need to fix. If we go ahead with this approach, validation happens within our custom data source where we instantiate the writeClient and start the commit (in row writer path). Once we have consensus I can make the changes. I feel this is the right approach. Once fixed, callers don't need to make any additional calls to do validations. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
