> HBase should provide basic building blocks for multi-row local transactions. Local means that we do this by co-locating the data. Global (cross region) transactions are not discussed here.
> After a bit of discussion two solutions have emerged:
> 1. Keep the row-key for determining grouping and location and allow efficient intra-row scanning. A client application would then model tables as HBase-rows.
> 2. Define a prefix-length in HTableDescriptor that defines a grouping of rows. Regions will then never be split inside a grouping prefix.
> #1 is true to the current storage paradigm of HBase.
> #2 is true to the current client side API.
> I will explore these two with sample patches here.
> --------------------
> Was:
> As discussed (at length) on the dev mailing list with the HBASE-3584 and HBASE-5203 committed, supporting atomic cross row transactions within a region becomes simple.
> I am aware of the hesitation about the usefulness of this feature, but we have to start somewhere.
> Let's use this jira for discussion, I'll attach a patch (with tests) momentarily to make this concrete.
