stack commented on HBASE-2036: ------------------------------ I'm not so sure hashcode in HBC is a good idea. Its up in the air at the moment. It'll probably be removed. If we used plain Configuration Enis, how would we ensure that hbase-*.xml had been read into the Configuration? The public static method you allude to above would be where? What if we kept HBC and just changed methods so they took a Configuration, not necessarily an HBC? Would that work? Thanks. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
