Eli Collins commented on HBASE-7941:
------------------------------------
Agree with Lars and Devaraj. IMO HBase should remain type agnostic, I don't
think we want to establish relational data types in HBase itself. HBase is a
storage system (at least BigTable is) and should provide equal support for
multiple type models, not just the data types expected by SQL engines.
> Provide client API with support for primitive types

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Client, Usability
> Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
>
> Work is underway to provide a widely acceptable serialization format for
> primitive and complex types (HBASE-7221, HBASE-7692). With this completed,
> those serialization conveniences should be pushed up to users of the Client
> API by way of additional method signatures on Operation implementations (Get,
> Put, Delete, Scan, &c.).
