I'd really like to get the api clean up (get KeyValue out of the InterfaceAudience.public API). If this doesn't get into 0.96 it will likely have a hard time getting into 0.98 for compatibility reasons. If we can get the exposed api-level stuff in it will potentially allow us to push more interesting things, and let us cull more code in minor release after 0.96.0
There are a lot of changes (mostly KeyValue -> Cell conversions), but *all of them* are semantics preserving. A bunch of this has been on HBASE-9245 and some incremental work are on sub issue HBASE-9334 and HBASE-9247. I'm in the progress of removing the other public KV instances (no issue yet) and will also do a pass to preserve as much compatibility as possible. Jon.
