[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-15499) Add multiple data type support for increment

["Nick Dimiduk (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15499?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15315145#comment-15315145 ] 

Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-15499:
--------------------------------------

Wiring our atomic ops for arbitrary user extension via the {{DataType}} interfaces has long been on my wish list. I'm stoked to see other interest here!

I'd really like to see this {{NumberCodecType}} participate in the {{DataType}} hierarchy. Maybe there's a sibling interface called "Incrementable"? But that way the types that increment supports remain pluggable. The Enum implementation here keeps everything locked in hbase, not user extensible.

> Currently the increment assumes long with byte-wise serialization. It's useful to  support flexible data type/serializations.
