Appy commented on HBASE-14769:
------------------------------
Yeah, that's an issue. Users getting HBaseAdmin and using public functions
being removed here will break.
On other side, considering InterfaceAudience scope transitively will make
things very difficult. Even though there is a function to return HBaseAdmin,
users should be aware that it's a private and evolving class.
It's hard to decide what's right in such case. But given the functions being
removed are long dead (we moved to TableName two years ago?) and the class
itself is private, it should be alright. I agree with Sean though, mentioning
clearly in HBTU that it only supports Admin interface.
In addition i'll deprecate that function and add a function to return Admin
object.

> HBaseAdmin is marked private, so removing the functions not being used
> anywhere.
> Also, the javadocs of overridden functions are same as corresponding ones in
> Admin.java. Since javadocs are automatically inherited from the interface
> class, we can remove these redundant 100s of lines.
