----------------------------------
Assignee: James Taylor
> Support ON DUPLICATE KEY construct
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: PHOENIX-6
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: James Taylor
> Assignee: James Taylor
> Fix For: 4.9.0
>
>
> To support inserting a new row only if it doesn't already exist, we should
> support the "on duplicate key" construct for UPSERT. With this construct, the
> UPSERT VALUES statement would run atomically and would thus require a read
> before write which would obviously have a negative impact on performance. For
> an example of similar syntax , see MySQL documentation at
> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/insert-on-duplicate.html
> See this discussion for more detail:
> https://groups.google.com/d/msg/phoenix-hbase-user/Bof-TLrbTGg/68bnc8ZcWe0J.
> A related discussion is on PHOENIX-2909.
> Initially we'd support the following:
> # This would prevent the setting of VAL to 0 if the row already exists:
> {code}
> UPSERT INTO T (PK, VAL) VALUES ('a',0)
> ON DUPLICATE KEY IGNORE;
> {code}
> # This would increment the valueS of COUNTER1 and COUNTER2 if the row already
> exists and otherwise initialize them to 0:
> {code}
> UPSERT INTO T (PK, COUNTER1, COUNTER2) VALUES ('a',0,0)
> ON DUPLICATE KEY COUNTER1 = COUNTER1 + 1, COUNTER2 = COUNTER2 + 1;
> {code}
