Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-15638:
----------------------------------------
I mean the Backward compatibility break as we change the method signature.
Actually we should change these hooks so as to pass our POJOs. This way of fix
was done for public client APIs in Admin etc. But CP hooks missed. So we
deprecate the current and add new ones with our own POJOs? Or is it ok to
break? how abt CP hook BC guarantee with major version?

> We need to change our protobuf. Currently it is pb2.5.0. As is, protobufs
> expect all buffers to be on-heap byte arrays. It does not have facility for
> dealing in ByteBuffers and off-heap ByteBuffers in particular. This fact
> frustrates the off-heaping-of-the-write-path project as
> marshalling/unmarshalling of protobufs involves a copy on-heap first.
> So, we need to patch our protobuf so it supports off-heap ByteBuffers. To
> ensure we pick up the patched protobuf always, we need to relocate/shade our
> protobuf and adjust all protobuf references accordingly.
> Given as we have protobufs in our public facing API, Coprocessor Endpoints --
> which use protobuf Service to describe new API -- a blind relocation/shading
> of com.google.protobuf.* will break our API for CoProcessor EndPoints (CPEP)
> in particular. For example, in the Table Interface, to invoke a method on a
> registered CPEP, we have:
> {code}<T extends com.google.protobuf.Service,R> Map<byte[],R>
> coprocessorService(
> Class<T> service, byte[] startKey, byte[] endKey,
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.coprocessor.Batch.Call<T,R>
> callable)
> throws com.google.protobuf.ServiceException, Throwable{code}
> This issue is how we intend to shade protobuf for hbase-2.0.0 while
> preserving our API as is so CPEPs continue to work on the new hbase.
