Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-13271:
-----------------------------------------
[Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: Say out of 5 the third is broken, then the put()
call returns with a local exception (say empty Put) and then you have 2 that
are in the buffer
[Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: but how to you force commit them?
[Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: In the past you would call flushCache(), but that
is "gone" now
If they failed the first time, why would they succeed the second time?
Why are they still in the buffer if it failed?
Why flushCache is not available? flushing the commit should be available to be
end user, no?
> Table#puts(List<Put>) operation is indeterminate; remove!

> Key: HBASE-13271
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13271
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: stack
>
> Another API issue found by [~larsgeorge]:
> "Table.put(List<Put) is questionable after the API change."
> {code}
> [Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: Table.put(List<Put>) is weird since you cannot
> flush partial lists
> [Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: Say out of 5 the third is broken, then the
> put() call returns with a local exception (say empty Put) and then you have 2
> that are in the buffer
> [Mar-17 9:21 AM] Lars George: but how to you force commit them?
> [Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: In the past you would call flushCache(), but
> that is "gone" now
> [Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: and flush() is not available on a Table
> [Mar-17 9:22 AM] Lars George: And you cannot access the underlying
> BufferedMutation neither
> [Mar-17 9:23 AM] Lars George: You can *only* add more Puts if you can, or
> call close()
> [Mar-17 9:23 AM] Lars George: that is just weird to explain
> {code}
> So, Table needs to get flush back or we deprecate this method or it flushes
> immediately and does not return until complete in the implementation.
