> [hbase] Create a RowMutation class in the public API
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-2611
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2611
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/hbase
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Priority: Minor
>
> Today, when you want to interact with a row in HBase, you start an update,
> make changes, and then commit the lock. This is fine for very simple
> applications. However, when you try to do things like support table
> operations as part of a MapReduce job, it becomes more difficult to support.
> I propose that we create a new class, RowMutation (a la the Bigtable paper),
> which encapsulates a group of actions on a row, and make this available to
> API consumers. It might look something like:
> {code}
> RowMutation r = table.getMutation(row_key);
> r.setTimestamp(1111);
> r.put(new Text("colfam1:name", value));
> r.delete(new Text("colfam2:deleted"));
> table.commit(r);
> {code}
> This syntax would supercede the existing startUpdate/commit format, which
> could be deprecated and mapped to a RowMutation behind the scenes.
