> 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.
