Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-4296:
--------------------------------------
Over in HBASE-4461 I am exposing this method to Thrift to enable building fat
Thrift-based clients. Rather than deprecating this, could we just notate that
it is an expensive operation and not for normal operations? Or even only allow
it to work on ROOT and META?
> Deprecate HTable[Interface].getRowOrBefore(...)

> HTable's getRowOrBefore(...) internally calls into Store.getRowKeyAtOrBefore.
> That method was created to allow our scanning of .META. (see HBASE-2600).
> Store.getRowKeyAtOrBefore(...) lists a bunch of requirements for this to be
> performant that a user of HTable will not be aware of.
> I propose deprecating this in the public interface in 0.92 and removing it
> from the public interface in 0.94. If we don't get to HBASE-2600 in 0.94 it
> will still remain as internal interface for scanning meta.
