[jira] [Commented] (PHOENIX-940) Unique Constraint

["James Taylor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-940?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13987345#comment-13987345 ] 

James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-940:
--------------------------------------

So you'd like to be able to add to the PK for a VIEW, right? The reason is that you don't want the row with the same entity_id to be updated again and again, but you'd rather maintain all of those versions as independent/separate rows.

Is that correct, [~elilevine]?

> Add support for UNIQUE constraint on one or more columns in CREATE and ALTER TABLE statements:
> {code}
> CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE (column1, column2, . column_n)
> {code}
> One possible way to implement this is by adding a secondary index on columns involved in the constraint and adding a check for column values before upsert.
