Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-2704:
--------------------------------------
This is a fairly disruptive, incompatible change but can be done at the same
time as the package change. We will need to hang on to o.a.h.h.HCD/HTD anyways
for client compatibility, so HFD could be put into o.a.h.HFD.

> HColumnDescriptor is very old. The class comment has stale information that
> no longer applies (that you cannot modify a column, er family, without
> deleting it and recreating it). It is also called HColumnDescriptor rather
> than HFamilyDescriptor and the related methods all say "column" instead of
> "family" like those in HBaseAdmin.
