Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-6712:
--------------------------------------
If increment would not create new rows when needed, you have to use some other
API to create the row first, which would definitely be bad.
Do you have a specific use case in mind?
> incrementColumnValue should throw an exception if row does not exist
