No, I had written a huge Map Reduce program which talks with hbase and does
a lot of computing using it as a source as well as sink.. One of my
colleague saw my code and saw that I had used a lot of static function
instead of making use of proper OOP concepts.. He was telling me that it
shouldn't be the way I should go about doing it.. But my code works fine..
So, was wondering will I face any problem in the future because of this..
That's all.

Pavan
