I'm still a little confused by 0.20.0 releasing both a rewrite of the REST interface and giving Stargate contrib status as part of the release. This seems like having your REST *and* eating it too! Presumably if one of these implementations gains enough momentum it would lead to the deprecation of the other.
It seems like the Stargate API is more comprehensive, but having said that, I would usually go for core functionality over a contribution if they both met my requirements. I don't want to invest code and time in one to see it fall by the wayside over the next few releases. Is anyone backing one of these to become the preferred method of serving REST from HBase in the near future? Cheers, Greg.
