public class Append
extends Mutation

Performs Append operations on a single row.

Note that this operation does not appear atomic to readers. Appends are done under a single row lock, so write operations to a row are synchronized, but readers do not take row locks so get and scan operations can see this operation partially completed.

To append to a set of columns of a row, instantiate an Append object with the row to append to. At least one column to append must be specified using the add(byte[], byte[], byte[]) method.

Constructor Detail

Append

public Append(byte[] row)

Create a Append operation for the specified row.

At least one column must be appended to.

Parameters:

row - row key; makes a local copy of passed in array.

Append

public Append(byte[] rowArray,
              int rowOffset,
              int rowLength)

Create a Append operation for the specified row.

At least one column must be appended to.

Parameters:

rowArray - Makes a copy out of this buffer.

rowOffset -

rowLength -

Method Detail

setReturnResults

public void setReturnResults(boolean returnResults)

Parameters:

returnResults - True (default) if the append operation should return the results. A client that is not interested in the result can save network bandwidth setting this to false.

isReturnResults

public boolean isReturnResults()

Returns:

current setting for returnResults

add

public Append add(byte[] family,
                  byte[] qualifier,
                  byte[] value)

Add the specified column and value to this Append operation.

Parameters:

family - family name

qualifier - column qualifier

value - value to append to specified column

Returns:

this

add

public Append add(Cell cell)

Add column and value to this Append operation.

Parameters:

cell -

Returns:

This instance
