Brock Noland commented on HBASE-9477:
-------------------------------------
As a Hadoop user, I do look at the annotations to see what I am using and know
that if something is marked Unstable it's up to me to maintain that API. I'd
like the same thing in HBase along with Public/Stable requiring one major
release of depreciation before being changed or removed incompatibly. Ideally
non-public apis would have .internal. in their package name as well but that
would require too many moves to be practical.
> Add deprecation compat shim for Result#raw and Result#list for 0.96

> Discussion in HBASE-9359 brought up that applications commonly use the
> Keyvalue[] Result#raw (and similarly Result#list). Let's rename the 0.96
> version to something like #listCells and #rawCells and revert #raw and #list
> to their old signature to easy upgrade deprecation issues.
