Open HRegionServer/HClient for extension
----------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-1509
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1509
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/hbase
    Affects Versions: 0.14.0
            Reporter: James Kennedy
            Priority: Minor


For what i'm doing I found it necessary to extend HRegionServer/HRegion/HClient 
for some custom functionality.

Following good Java practice I see that the HBase code as been programmed 
defensively, keeping stuff private as much as possible.

However, for extensibility it would be nice if the servers/client were easy to 
extend.

Attached is a patch that makes several methods protected instead of private, 
adds getters to fields of inner classes, and some other modifications i found 
were useful for some simple extension code.
