We were once part of hadoop so it made sense then being at o.a.hadoop.hbase. Moving all to o.a.hbase would have been an incompatible change especially by the time it made it out to the API. It would also have been a mountain of work. Making the change was never of high enough priority. Rather than do the big bang move, thought was that new baseline code could come in at o.a.hbase and we'd migrate slowly to the new root. I suppose I should have put this up on dev list for folks to throw darts at? St.Ack
