Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4552:
------------------------------------
The trick is making sure it's atomic inside the region server - not just that
the client sends all of the files for a given region in one RPC. If there are
any concurrent scanners, then they should either see all of the new data or
none of the new data on a given row. So we need some region-wide coordination.
I think probably we have to take a write-lock on HRegion#lock
> multi-CF bulk load is not atomic across column families

> Fix For: 0.92.0

> Currently the bulk load API simply imports one HFile at a time. With
> multi-column-family support, this is inappropriate, since different CFs show
> up separately. Instead, the IPC endpoint should take a of CF -> HFiles, so we
> can online them all under a single region-wide lock.
