Change made in HBASE-18008. Asking [~chia7712] if ok to undo. Here is complaint from JACC: {code} hbase-client-1.2.6.jar, HColumnDescriptor.class package org.apache.hadoop.hbase [−] HColumnDescriptor.remove ( byte[ ] key ) : void 1 org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HColumnDescriptor.remove:([B)V Change Effect 1 Return value type has been changed from void to HColumnDescriptor. This method has been removed because the return type is part of the method signature. [−] HColumnDescriptor.removeConfiguration ( String key ) : void 1 org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HColumnDescriptor.removeConfiguration:(Ljava/lang/String;)V Change Effect 1 Return value type has been changed from void to HColumnDescriptor. This method has been removed because the return type is part of the method signature. {code} Binary breaking but not src breaking. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3589946/retrofitting-void-methods-to-return-its-argument-to-facilitate-fluency-breaking for good discussion. Probably not a prob. but just in case and if not really needed, will purge. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
