Use Configuration instead of HBaseConfiguration
------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-2036
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2036
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Enis Soztutar
HBaseConfiguration extends Configuration but does not add any functionality to
it. The only function is hashCode() which really should be refactored into
Hadoop Configuration.
I think in all the places(especially in the client side) HBase methods and
classes should accept Configuration rather than HBaseConfiguration. The
creation of the configuration with the right files (hbase-site and
hbase-default) should not be encapsulated in a private method, but in a public
static one.
The issues has arisen in our nutch+hbase patch for which we include both nutch
configuration and hbase configurations. Moreover people may want to include
separate project-specific configuration files to their configurations without
the need to be dependent on the HBaseConfiguration.
