ryan rawson commented on HBASE-2894:
------------------------------------

Right now the 'puts' is used in a bunch of other packages.  We can do getPuts() 
but that would also have to be public.

As for the protected - should that be public instead?  Using protected instead 
of private is generally considered good form and we have been bit by things 
being overly private in HBase before.

> I don't see any reason for those fields to be public.  Let's make sure this 
> doesn't leak to a stable release, otherwise it becomes part of the API.

> _edit:_ Similarly, {{MultiPutResponse}} has two fields that are 
> {{protected}}, but need not to be:
> {code:title=MultiPutResponse.java}
> public class MultiPutResponse implements Writable {
>                 
>   protected MultiPut request; // used in client code ONLY
>                   
>   protected Map<byte[], Integer> answers = new TreeMap<byte[], 
> Integer>(Bytes.BYTES_COMPARATOR);
> [...]
> {code}
