HBaseAdmin (et al.) not accurate with Column vs. Column-Family usage
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-1989
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1989
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client
Affects Versions: 0.20.1
Reporter: Doug Meil
Priority: Minor
Consider the classes HBaseAdmin and HColumnDescriptor.
HColumnDescriptor is really referring to a "column family" and not a "column"
(i.e., family:qualifer).
Likewise, in HBaseAdmin there is a method called "addColumn" that takes an
HColumnDescriptor instance.
I labeled this a bug in the sense that it produces conceptual confusion because
there is a big difference between a column and column-family in HBase and these
terms should be used consistently. The code works, though.
