stack commented on HBASE-8089:
------------------------------
bq. An HBase that ships with an API for describing data types and
implementations of a set of common definitions takes the next step in
interoperability.
So you are thinking more than just a client-side utility lib but an actual
facade that does typing (though it is all client-side) as in for example
TypedHTable that does something like typedHTable.put(new
Put(row).addInteger(12345)) and int i = typedHTable.get(new
Get(row).getInteger());? HBase internally is still all byte arrays but it'd
have this new class that made it look like we could exploit this typing info
server-side (e.g. better compression)? I suppose I'd have to register a
serializer w/ this new TypedHTable too? Would the serializer be per table?

> This proposal outlines an improvement to HBase that provides for a set of
> types, above and beyond the existing "byte-bucket" strategy. This is intended
> to reduce user-level duplication of effort, provide better support for
> 3rd-party integration, and provide an overall improved experience for
> developers using HBase.
