Description

HBase transaction management today is provided by a number of products, each implementing a different API, each having different strengths. The lack of a common API for transactional interfaces means that applications need to be coded to work with a specific Transaction Manager. This proposal outlines an API which, if implemented by the different Transaction Manager vendors would provide stability and choice to HBase application developers.
