Stefan Baritchii commented on HBASE-6712:
-----------------------------------------
My usecase: I have a row with a rowid and a column that is incremented. rowid
represents a resource name, column represents how many guys are sharing that
resource.
It would be nice if I would be able to create the row first (i do it only once
anyway), and then increment/decrement it's sharing.
To answer the "which would definitely be bad" part I think it has already been
done at Put where you have checkAndPut() method. Do you think it would be bad
to have a "checkAndIncrement" method similar to checkAndPut?
> incrementColumnValue should throw an exception if row does not exist
