Paul Wilkinson reassigned HBASE-3434: ------------------------------------- Assignee: Paul Wilkinson (was: stack) > ability to increment a counter without reading original value from storage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3434 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3434 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Client, regionserver > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: Paul Wilkinson > Labels: gsoc2016, mentor > > There are a bunch of applications that do read-modify-write operations on > HBase constructs, e.g a counter; The counter value has to be read in from > hdfs before it can be incremented. We have an application where the number > of increments on a counter far outnumbers the number of times the counter is > used or read. For these type of applications, it will be very beneficial to > not have to read in the counter from disk before it can be incremented. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
