[jira] Commented: (HBASE-1563) incrementColumnValue does not write to WAL

["Andrew Purtell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1563?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12722702#action_12722702 ] 

Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-1563:
---------------------------------------

IMHO, it's fine to expose the boolean to the client but there should be a client side API alternative which does not expose the boolean which internally sets writeToWAL as true. Everybody will be happy. Let's just do it.

> Incrementing never writes to the WAL.  Under failure scenarios, you will lose all increments since the last flush.
> Do we want to expose the option to the client as to whether to write to WAL or not?
