Yan commented on SPARK-3880:
----------------------------

The new context is intended to be very light-weighted. We noticed that SparkSQL 
is a very active project and there have been talks/Jiras about SQLContext and 
data sources. As mentioned in the design, we are aware of the PR, and the need 
to have a universal mechanism to access different types of data stores,  and 
will a keep close watch on the latest movements and will definitely fit our 
efforts to those latest features and interfaces when they are ready and 
reasonably stable. In the meanwhile, the design is intended to be heavy of 
HBase-specific data model, data access mechanisms and query optimizations, and 
keep the integration part light-weighted so it can be easily adjusted to future 
changes.

The point is that we need to find some compromise between a rapidly changing 
project and the need to have a more or less stable "context" to base a new 
feature on. Chasing a constantly moving target is never easy, I guess.
