----------------------------
Summary: Edit the CP API: Make 'plugin's Interfaces for admending
behaviors
Key: HBASE-9853
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9853
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Umbrella
Components: Coprocessors
Reporter: stack
Current CP API has deviated from original intent allowing Observers observe
(and on occasion amend data) and Endpoints for adding custom query handling
over hbase data. CP API has evolved to include a raft of APIs that allow
modifying base behaviors -- how we do compactions, flushes, etc -- that are not
'coprocessor'-type functions.
This issue came of devs discussing figuring how to stabilize the CP API. The
thought is to return its scope to that of the original intent and to add new
plugins Interfaces whereever we want to allow changing base behaviors (WAL
writing, etc.).
This is an umbrellas issue. The redo would happen as subtasks.
