Devaraj Das commented on HBASE-7941: ------------------------------------ I'd vote for a separate layer as well. Seems natural to me. It's also in the spirit of HBase - core APIs supports only raw bytes for data. Complex APIs are modelled on top.. > Provide client API with support for primitive types > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7941 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7941 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Client, Usability > Reporter: Nick Dimiduk > > Work is underway to provide a widely acceptable serialization format for > primitive and complex types (HBASE-7221, HBASE-7692). With this completed, > those serialization conveniences should be pushed up to users of the Client > API by way of additional method signatures on Operation implementations (Get, > Put, Delete, Scan, &c.). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
