-----------------------------------------------
@Anoop
Can you explain why you feel client does not know that the operation is
successful in #2.
May be you had some scenario in mind?
Is it like before the expiry time the client retries without knowing that the
previous operation was successful?
The usage of nonce should solve the problem right.

> The HTable.increment() operation is non-idempotent. The client retries the
> increment RPC a few times (as specified by configuration) before throwing an
> error to the application. This makes it possible that the same increment call
> be applied twice at the server.
> For increment operations, is it better to use
> HConnectionManager.getRegionServerWithoutRetries()? Another option would be
> to enhance the IPC module to make the RPC server correctly identify if the
> RPC is a retry attempt and handle accordingly.
