Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-796:
--------------------------------------
+1 on deprecating Text, -1 on deprecating String. IMHO, string convenience
functions are important when working with the rest of Java-land. Even with
o.a.h.h.u.Bytes, converting from byte[] to String back to byte[] makes client
code unnecessarily ugly.
> Deprecates Text/String methods from HTable and modifies all classes that used
> Text/String methods so that they use byte[] instead
