Is there a simple way to recalculate some values after an insert occurs? I have a table with multiple column families, one of them statistical. I'd like to insert the original record and than have some HBase-specific facility to calculate the values offline - without blocking the insert.
Let's assume I put some files into an hbase table and want to have information about the number of lines in them and also the dates stored there.
I've been looking into RegionObserver and its preGet method. This solution works but I'm afraid it blocks the actual insert from occurring until the calculation is completed.
