Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7051:
--------------------------------------
Can you explain #3 more.
In the end this was really broken by the work to release the lock before the
WAL is sync'ed (and since for that be correct MVCC need to be rolled forward
after the WAL sync'ed, which means after the lock was released).
> Read/Updates (increment,checkAndPut) should properly read MVCC

> Key: HBASE-7051
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7051
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.96.0
> Reporter: Gregory Chanan
>
> See, for example:
> {code}
> // TODO: Use MVCC to make this set of increments atomic to reads
> {code}
> Here's an example of what I can happen (would probably be good to write up a
> test case for each read/update):
> Concurrent update via increment and put.
> The put grabs the row lock first and updates the memstore, but releases the
> row lock before the MVCC is advanced. Then, the increment grabs the row lock
> and reads right away, reading the old value and incrementing based on that.
> There are a few options here:
> 1) Waiting for the MVCC to advance for read/updates: the downside is that you
> have to wait for updates on other rows.
> 2) Have an MVCC per-row (table configuration): this avoids the unnecessary
> contention of 1)
> 3) Transform the read/updates to write-only with rollup on read.. E.g. an
> increment would just have the number of values to increment.
