Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4605:
-------------------------------
Should we add method for enabling/disabling individual constraints to
Constraints.java ?
{code}
public static void enableConstraint(HTableDescriptor desc, Class<? extends
Constraint> clazz) {
...
public static void disableConstraint(HTableDescriptor desc, Class<? extends
Constraint> clazz) {
{code}
Using the above form, we cannot simply remove the constraint processor.
We shouldn't remove the constraint corresponding to clazz either because the
constraint may have unique Configuration object associated with it.

> From Jesse's comment on dev:
> {quote}
> What I would like to propose is a simple interface that people can use to
> implement a 'constraint' (matching the classic database definition). This
> would help ease of adoption by helping HBase more easily check that box, help
> minimize code duplication across organizations, and lead to easier adoption.
> Essentially, people would implement a 'Constraint' interface for checking
> keys before they are put into a table. Puts that are valid get written to the
> table, but if not people can will throw an exception that gets propagated
> back to the client explaining why the put was invalid.
> Constraints would be set on a per-table basis and the user would be expected
> to ensure the jars containing the constraint are present on the machines
> serving that table.
> Yes, people could roll their own mechanism for doing this via coprocessors
> each time, but this would make it easier to do so, so you only have to
> implement a very minimal interface and not worry about the specifics.
