Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-62:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for the patch review. I have attached another patch which addresses the
comments.
* Use TreeMaps with Bytes.BYTES_COMPARATOR. Thanks for the advice.
* Fixed outdated Javadoc from a previous attempt.
Regarding HTableDescriptor and HColumnDescriptor migration, HCD has been
self-migrating for a while but HTD is not yet. The hbase-62 patch includes
changes which make HTD self-versioning, but HTD.readFields is not compatible
with what is on disk today. So HTDs for all tables need to be rewritten as part
of migration.
