30 /**
31  * <p>Used to communicate with a single HBase table similar to {@link Table} but meant for
32  * batched, asynchronous puts. Obtain an instance from a {@link Connection} and call
33  * {@link #close()} afterwards. Customizations can be applied to the {@code BufferedMutator} via
34  * the {@link BufferedMutatorParams}.
35  * </p>
36  *
37  * <p>Exception handling with asynchronously via the {@link BufferedMutator.ExceptionListener}.
38  * The default implementation is to throw the exception upon receipt. This behavior can be
39  * overridden with a custom implementation, provided as a parameter with
40  * {@link BufferedMutatorParams#listener(BufferedMutator.ExceptionListener)}.</p>
41  *
42  * <p>Map/Reduce jobs are good use cases for using {@code BufferedMutator}. Map/reduce jobs
43  * benefit from batching, but have no natural flush point. {@code BufferedMutator} receives the
44  * puts from the M/R job and will batch puts based on some heuristic, such as the accumulated size
45  * of the puts, and submit batches of puts asynchronously so that the M/R logic can continue
46  * without interruption.
47  * </p>
48  *
49  * <p>{@code BufferedMutator} can also be used on more exotic circumstances. Map/Reduce batch jobs
50  * will have a single {@code BufferedMutator} per thread. A single {@code BufferedMutator} can
51  * also be effectively used in high volume online systems to batch puts, with the caveat that
52  * extreme circumstances, such as JVM or machine failure, may cause some data loss.</p>
53  *
54  * <p>NOTE: This class replaces the functionality that used to be available via
55  * {@link HTableInterface#setAutoFlush(boolean)} set to {@code false}.
56  * </p>
