Hector to do incrementCounter for the subcolumn of a super cf

Question

Currently the mutator seems only works against standard cf. Is there any other approach to go with to do incrementCounter on a subcolumn of a super cf?

Answer 1

A little piece of code to increment counters of a superColumn

With SuperColumns with String keys, supernames and names...

String key = "keyOfRow"; 
    String superColumnFamily = "foo"; 
    String superColumnName ="bar"; 
    StringSerializer ss = StringSerializer.get(); 
    // let's insert a couple of counter columns in a superColumn 
    String columnName1="aaa"; 
    String columnName2="bbb"; 
    List <HCounterColumn<String>> myCounters = new 
ArrayList<HCounterColumn<String>>(); 
    myCounters.add(HFactory.createCounterColumn(columnName1, 1L)); 
    myCounters.add(HFactory.createCounterColumn(columnName2, 42L)); 
    Mutator mutator = HFactory.createMutator(keyspace, 
StringSerializer.get()); 
    mutator.insertCounter(key,superColumnFamily , 
HFactory.createCounterSuperColumn(superColumnName, myCounters, ss, 
ss)); 
mutator.execute();
