[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-10247) Client promises about timestamps

["Sergey Shelukhin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10247?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13857591#comment-13857591 ] 

Sergey Shelukhin commented on HBASE-10247:
------------------------------------------

I think there was already a JIRA about that but I cannot find it.
The discussion was also about introducing modes - e.g. "client cannot supply timestamp" (so we can put seqId in timestamp and it will be increasing as expected), or "client must supply all timestamps"

> This is to start a discussion about timestamp promises declared per table of CF.
> For example if a client promises only monotonically increasing timestamps (or no custom set timestamps) and VERSIONS=1, we can aggressively and easily remove old versions of the same row/fam/col from the memstore before we flush, just by supplying a comparator that ignores the timestamp (i.e. two KV just differing by TS would be considered equal).
> That would increase the performance of counters significantly.
