Stale

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug

> Consider the classes HBaseAdmin and HColumnDescriptor.
> HColumnDescriptor is really referring to a "column family" and not a "column"
> (i.e., family:qualifer).
> Likewise, in HBaseAdmin there is a method called "addColumn" that takes an
> HColumnDescriptor instance.
> I labeled this a bug in the sense that it produces conceptual confusion
> because there is a big difference between a column and column-family in HBase
> and these terms should be used consistently. The code works, though.
