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.
