Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-482:
---------------------------------------

bq. If you guys really prefer having separate classes for Mutations and ColumnUpdates, I could change it.

There interface is clean.  I do not care too much.  A few thoughts.

 * The thrift interface is significantly different from Java interface because of lack of mutation.  I think users could quickly adapt though.
 * When sending a lot of data for one row, this interface results in  a lot more overhead because row is repeated.
 * Have to expend CPU on proxy to group, but I doubt this is an issue relative to the overhead of IPC.

Still think the flatter data structs are something to consider, i.e.

{code:java}
keyvalue1 = PKeyValue("a","a","a","","a")
keyvalue2 = PKeyValue("a","b","b","","b")
client.updateAndFlush(userpass,table,[keyvalue1,keyvalue2],[])
{code}

As I said this makes it easier to write the code for writing data, but harder for rewriting data from a scan.

> Add a thrift proxy server to make integration with other languages besides Java a bit easier.  This should work like http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/ThriftApi.
