Autoincrementing cell version
-----------------------------
Key: HBASE-610
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-610
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: stack
Fix For: 0.2.0
HBASE-609 has an example of clock skew making it so master scanner missed edits
placed there by a regionserver whose clock was in advance of the masters.
There may be other cases lurking where this kind of issue -- two servers are
updating a particular row with off-clocks -- may bite us. Could a regionserver
that has a clock a long ways behind the running master's clock enter a split
record that went in behind the current inforegion cell's version? If so, the
master wouldn't see the split.
One fix would be a new feature where cells had a version that autoincremented.
