I really like all the conversation 0.96 is forcing around API stability. Java gives us some tools for making things clear to HBase users, but what about the gateways? How do we go about deprecating APIs in REST and Thrift? I raised this question specifically for REST on HBASE-9343 [0] but I'd like to broaden the discussion, especially as Lars works his way from thrift to thrift2 implementations.
Thanks, Nick [0]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9343?focusedCommentId=13762335&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13762335
