Lars Francke commented on HBASE-13645: -------------------------------------- Thanks! I'll do it that way. What about changing things that are marked as {{@InterfaceAudience.Private}}? Like the methods in {{MasterCoprocessorHost}}. Can I change them without going through deprecation? > Rename *column methods in MasterObserver to *columnFamily > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-13645 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13645 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Lars Francke > Assignee: Lars Francke > Priority: Minor > > This being an interface makes it a bit harder on implementors. It'd be easier > with Java8 and default implementations. > We could either > # add new *columnFamily methods and deprecate the old ones or > # rename the existing ones without doing a deprecation first. > Implementors would need to change their code in each of those cases. But > because we have the {{BaseMasterObserver}} and > {{BaseMasterAndRegionObserver}} it'd make things easier for people using > those classes if we go with option 1. So that's my preference. > The plan would be to add these methods in 2.0.0 and remove the old ones in > 3.0.0. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
