--------------------------------------
Summary: Use setters instead of return values for handing back
statistics from HRegion methods
Key: HBASE-12979
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12979
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.98.10
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Assignee: Andrew Purtell
In HBASE-5162 (and backports such as HBASE-12729) we modified some HRegion
methods to return statistics for consumption by callers. The statistics are
ultimately passed back to the client as load feedback.
[~lhofhansl] thinks returning this information is a weird mix of concerns. This
also produced a difficult to anticipate binary compatibility issue with
Phoenix. There was no compile time issue because the code of course was not
structured to assign from a method returning void, yet the method signature
changes so the JVM cannot resolve it if older Phoenix binaries are installed
into a 0.98.10 release. Let's change the HRegion methods back to returning
'void' and use setters instead. Officially we don't support use of HRegion
(HBASE-12566) but we do not need to go out of our way to break things (smile)
so I would also like to make a patch release containing just this change to
help out our sister project.
