[jira] [Commented] (PHOENIX-3811) Ignore index write failure and let client deal with failure

["Lars Hofhansl (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3811?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15982342#comment-15982342 ] 

Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-3811:
----------------------------------------

I think this should be configurable per index or at least per table.
Many use cases may want this behavior, but I suspect there most do not want incorrect answers.

At least per table should not be hard with HBase's per table config overrides.

> We should provide a way to configure the system so that the server takes no specific action when an index write fails. Since we always throw the write failure back to the client, the client can often deal with failures more easily than the server since they have the batch of mutations in memory. Often times, allowing access to an index that may be one batch behind the data table is better than disabling it given the negative performance that will occur while the index cannot be written to.
