> I've been crawling around the HBase codebase for a little while now, and I 
> think I have a proposal that would make it easer to find your way around in 
> the codebase in general.
> I think that we should make three new packages below org.apache.hadoop.hbase, 
> client, master, and regionserver. The client package would contain HTable, 
> client-side scanning stuff, HBaseAdmin, the MapReduce-related stuff, the 
> shell, REST and Thrift. The master package would contain HMaster, maybe 
> Leases, any other classes that belong to master. The regionserver package 
> would contain HRegionServer, HRegion, HStore and all its subclasses 
> (HStoreFile, etc). Whatever is left over should be stuff that's pretty common 
> to all the sub-packages, so we can either leave that in the hbase package, or 
> push it down into a common subpackage.
> This would make it much easier for new contributors to decide where to look 
> for stuff, as well as make it more obvious what the architectural divisions 
> of the system are. To boot, it would allow us to reorganize our tests into 
> similar subpackages, which has the advantage of allowing us to think about, 
> for instance, client tests passing/failing as a group, rather than scattered 
> alphabetically throughout the entire suite.
> This idea would probably erase HADOOP-2518, or at least change the goal to 
> factor HStore down into o.a.h.h.regionserver.store.
