Guarantees Provided by HBase

The HBase provides the atomicity, consistency and isolation, and durability guarantee. These guarantees are discussed in detail in the following section:

Atomicity

Operations that mutate a single row are atomic. For example:

• An operation that returns a success code has completely succeeded.
• An operation that returns a failure code has completely failed.
• An operation that times out may have succeeded or may have failed. However, it cannot have partially succeeded or failed.
