So I was poking around the HBase code and noticed the deprecation warnings around using HTable vs Table as well as using strings for table names instead of TableName. With the CRUNCH-475, how much passivity or backwards compatibility are we shooting for? Support 0.98? Or fully expect HBase 1.0.0 or higher?
