--------------------------------------
Summary: Fold special cased MOB APIs into existing APIs
Key: HBASE-14227
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14227
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Priority: Critical
There are a number of APIs that came in with MOB that are not new actions for
HBase, simply new actions for a MOB implementation:
- compactMob
- compactMobs
- majorCompactMob
- majorCompactMobs
- getMobCompactionState
And in HBaseAdmin:
- validateMobColumnFamily
Remove these special cases from the Admin API where possible by folding them
into existing APIs.
We definitely don't need one method for a singleton and another for collections.
Ideally we will not have any APIs named *Mob when finished, whether MOBs are in
use on a table or not should be largely an internal detail. Exposing as schema
option would be fine, this conforms to existing practice for other features.
Marking critical because I think removing the *Mob special cased APIs should be
a precondition for release of this feature either in 2.0 or as a backport.
