------------------------------------------------

One question on the pom upgrade.
When I did this some time back I found this,
Just adding the note I had stored when we did this upgrade
{code}
the actual protoc.exe version shows 3.0.0 but the protobuf-java .jars are of 
3.0.0-beta2. so things does not work. 
Since when we configure 3.0.0-beta 2 in hbase pom the protoc says it needs 
3.0.0. When we configure 3.0.0 in hbase pom
it says canoot find 3.0.0 protobuf jar. Hence renmaed 3.0.0-beta2 jar to 3.0.0 
protobuf jar.
{code}
Also how were you able to compile the .proto files under src/test folder?

> Move master branch on to protobuf3. See 
> https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases We'd do it because pb3 saves some 
> on byte copies can work with offheap buffers -- needed for the off-heap write 
> path project -- thought read-time is still a TODO.
> HBASE-15638 has us first shading protobufs before upgrading. Let us list here 
> issues just going to pb3 without shading if only for completeness sake; i.e. 
> do we have to shade?
>  * pb3 is by default wire compatible with pb2.
>  * protoc3 run against our .protos works fine except pb3 breaks our 
> HBaseZeroCopyLiteralByteString hack.
>  * Starting up a cluster that is all pb3'd seems to work fine.
>  * A pb2 branch-1 can read and write against the pb3 master cluster.
> What will break if we just upgrade to pb3?
>  * We should be able to write HDFS messages on our AsyncWAL using pb3; the 
> pb2 HDFS should be able to  read them (not tested). Or maybe not. See policy 
> here: https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/1852
>  * Core Coprocessor Endpoints such as AccessControl seem to just work (their 
> protos will have been protoc3'd). I did simple test with a server from master 
> branch up on pb3 and then going against it with a branch-1 client on pb2. I 
> was able to add grants.
>  * For non-core CPEPs where the protos are pb2 still, it might just work. To 
> test. It would not be the end-of-the-world if they did not.
