Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-10934: -------------------------------------- Please omit that method for the time being. It should instead be an instance method on HConnection, and it shouldn't throw an exception for non-exceptional behavior. > Provide HBaseAdminInterface to abstract HBaseAdmin > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-10934 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10934 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Client > Reporter: Carter > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.99.0 > > > As HBaseAdmin is essentially the administrative API, it would seem to follow > Java best practices to provide an interface to access it instead of requiring > applications to use the raw object. > I am proposing (and would be happy to develop): > * A new interface, HBaseAdminInterface, that captures the signatures of the > API (HBaseAdmin will implement this interface) > * A new method, HConnection.getHBaseAdmin(), that returns an instance of the > interface -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
