Lars Francke updated HBASE-1744:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-1744.preview.1.patch

This adds a patch with a lot of the stuff done. I don't know of any big missing 
or wrong things with the new Thrift definition file except these:

* I have not added filters in any form
* I have not added row locks
* I added a version constant for the API and set it to 2.0.0 - I thought it 
might be a good idea to expose a version number that shows if the API has 
changed and follows the regular version number rules. Haven't added a thrift 
method yet. Good or bad idea?
* I'm not entirely sure about TDelete and the delete methods. There are so many 
different meanings and I haven't managed to put them all in so far. Will have 
to think about that again

This also implements the Server part (which are mostly wrappers) and contains 
the beginnings of an Admin interface (I was too lazy to weed that out from this 
preview now). Also: Tests not done yet.

Before going much further I'd love to get some general feedback on the 
HbaseClient.thrift and Types.thrift file. Does this API work for you or does it 
need changes?

> This mutateRows, etc.. is a little confusing compared to the new cleaner java 
> client.
> Thinking of ways to make a thrift client that is just as elegant. something 
> like:
> void put(1:Bytes table, 2:TPut put) throws (1:IOError io)
> with:
> struct TColumn {
>   1:Bytes family,
>   2:Bytes qualifier,
>   3:i64 timestamp
> }
> struct TPut {
>   1:Bytes row,
>   2:map<TColumn, Bytes> values
> }
> This creates more verbose rpc  than if the columns in TPut were just 
> map<Bytes, map<Bytes, Bytes>>, but that is harder to fit timestamps into and 
> still be intuitive from say python.
> Presumably the goal of a thrift gateway is to be easy first.
