stack commented on HBASE-1989:
------------------------------
This is a start. Will I commit it as a start in on this issue, as a part 1?
I'm working on the other part over in master rewrite where HColumnDescriptor
becomes instead ColumnFamilyDefinition, etc., throughout the code base.
> 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
> Assignee: stack
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: hbase1989.patch
>
>
> 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.
