HBase counter and Table row update

Hi All,

I am using HBase counter to count of number of rows in HBase table.

We want to count only the number of current records not the old versions.

incrementColumnValues is increasind the rows count if even the exiting row
is updated.

How I can increase the counter only if new row is added to table.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Riyaz

Can you provide a bit more context of how you use HTable#incrementColumnValue()
?
This method increments a column value of type long.

Cheers
