HBase batch put operation

Question

I have a list of Put operations to write to HBase. I found two possible API calls in HTable class batch(List) and put(List). I am wondering what is the difference between these two functions in terms of writing performance?

Accepted Answer

put(list) does a little more processing (on the client side) as it validate the puts but eventually they both call the same processBatch code on the HConnectionImplementation class
