I remember that we discussed that a couple times already without any final decision, so let me raise this question again. HBase 2.0 is getting close to the release and to support it we will need to do a lot of refactoring in the code even just to get Phoenix compiled. And already we may start to remove all deprecated API that was removed from 2.0 to minimize the further changes that are directly related to 2.0 support.
Thoughts? Thanks, Sergey
