void Hypertable::HyperAppHelper::create_cell_unique	(	const TablePtr &	table,
		const KeySpec &	key,
		String &	guid
	)

Inserts a unique value into a table.

This function inserts a unique value into a table. The table must be created with TIME_ORDER DESC, MAX_VERSIONS 1 (although the latter is optional).

If the value is empty then a new GUID will be assigned (using generate_guid).

If the table was not created with TIME_ORDER DESC an exception will be thrown.

Unique values are just like any other values. They can be deleted with the regular mutator interface and queried with a scanner.

Parameters

table	The table pointer
key	The KeySpec object with Row, Column and Column Family
guid	The unique string; will be filled with a new GUID if it's empty
