                 Key: HBASE-841
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-841
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ipc, regionserver
    Affects Versions: 0.2.0
            Reporter: Jim Kellerman
             Fix For: 0.3.0


There are too many overloaded methods in HRegionServerInterface and 
consequently HRegionServer.

These should be consolidated into one method per operation and the client 
should pass the appropriate parameters to the server.

On the server side, the single method should be able to handle parameters that 
are not supplied, e.g.,
- long values that are not supplied should be -1
- boolean values should be supplied appropriately
- objects that are not supplied should be passed as null

All these overloaded methods eventually call the same method on the server side 
eventually. Removing the overloads would make following control flow easier.
