stack commented on HBASE-9142: ------------------------------ Could I restore the old call, deprecate it, and then make a new method named getFamilies w/ above signature? > Mutation#getFamilyMap() return type change between HBase 94 and 96 breaks > downstream apps > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-9142 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9142 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Hari Shreedharan > > In Hbase-94, Mutation#getFamilyMap() had signature: > public Map<byte[],List<KeyValue>> getFamilyMap() > In Hbase-96 it is: > public NavigableMap<byte[],List<? extends Cell>> getFamilyMap() > I understand this might not be an easy fix or even a possible one - but it > breaks downstream apps in a nasty way. If the app needs to process the > individual columns, then the whole logic is now different. Is there a way to > work around this, if this cannot be fixed? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
