>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: documentation
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0

> At the front of {{Increment.java}} file, there is comment about read atomicity:
> {code}
>  * This operation does not appear atomic to readers.  Increments 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.
> {code}
> It seems this comment is not true after MVCC integrated [HBASE-4583|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4583]. Currently, the readers can be guaranteed to read the whole result of Increment if I am not wrong. Similar comments also exist in {{Append.java}}, {{Table#append(...)}} and {{Table#increment(...)}}
