Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-9359:
----------------------------------------

The issue I have with ycsb is that I would like to keep the compatibility with 
the previous hbase versions. I can do with two connectors, but it's not great. 
As well, I think it's representative of a simple client (while writable are a 
little bit less simple, as it means you're writing a filter).

KeyValue is not deprecated in 0.94: we're going directly from standard to non 
existent. Note that I don't advocate so much for doing a deprecate in 0.96 and 
a delete in 0.98: as we want to have two close releases it's more work without 
much benefits.

It would be interesting if someone could write his code in 0.94 in a way that 
won't break in 0.96. But even for something as simple as raw(), I'm not sure 
it's possible.

I don't know how many applications out there are *not* using the API impacted 
by protobuf but *are* impacted by the KeyValue removal. If ycsb is the only 
one, it's an easy decision...

> This path is the second half of eliminating KeyValue from the client
