[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-3787) Increment is non-idempotent but client retries RPC

Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-3787:
--------------------------------------

bq. I don't think tags should be considered by KeyValue or Cell comparators at all.
Agreed. Thinking more about it that would be very complex in terms of semantics and implementation. 
I guess we can alter my proposal above to make it so that Incr records count towards versions, but the cells should have unlimited number of versions to work.

> The HTable.increment() operation is non-idempotent. The client retries the increment RPC a few times (as specified by configuration) before throwing an error to the application. This makes it possible that the same increment call be applied twice at the server.
> For increment operations, is it better to use HConnectionManager.getRegionServerWithoutRetries()? Another  option would be to enhance the IPC module to make the RPC server correctly identify if the RPC is a retry attempt and handle accordingly.
