             Summary: Disallow non-atomic update operations when TIMELINE consistency is enabled
                 Key: HBASE-11634
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11634
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Client, Usability
    Affects Versions: 0.99.0, hbase-10070
            Reporter: Nick Dimiduk


Something to consider for the HBASE-10070 line of changes. When a client reads a timeline consistent view of data, read-update-write operations are potentially destructive. When a client is accepting TIMELINE reads, we should only allow server-side atomic update operations.

In a future state, we could offer a CRDT-based data type to further extend the set of write operations that are guaranteed safe under this consistency model.

I may not have the semantics of the new client API correct, but this is the idea: do what we can to protect users from the major dangers of this relaxed consistency model.
