As for deprecations, if more radical approach is taken, w.r.t. hiding public things I am not sure how deprecation approach would work; and w.r.t. usage patterns e.g. making async APIs the default, entire HTable class might need to be deprecated :) Otherwise, I think the deprecations already in 98 might be good. So we can remove these in 1.0. I wanted to get some opinion on the viability of the former options.
