A trigger that modifies the current Mutation

[Pinak Pani <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I wanted to create a trigger that alters the current mutation. For example,
I wanted to, say, iterate through the ColumnFamily in augment method and
look for all the fields that are of type text or varchar and change them to
upper case. I am not sure how to do that. Can someone help me?

Basically, this is what I wanted to do:

public class AllCapsTrigger implements ITrigger {

  public Collection<Mutation> augment(ByteBuffer key, ColumnFamily cf) {
    for(Cell cell: cf){
      if(cell.value().hasRemaining()){
        System.out.println("Value:  " + new String(cell.value().array(),
StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

        /**
         * Check if cell is of type text/varchar
         * Set cell value to upper case of what it has
         **/
      }
    }

    return null;
  }
}

Thanks for reading this.

Regards,
Pinak

Triggers will probably not survive in their current form. If I was planning
to use them for anything, I would comprehensively avail myself of the state
of their development...
