Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-9508:
---------------------------------------
There was some discussion around this with [~ndimiduk] -- I think I'd prefer if
the restored methods were @deprecated. for HRI#getTableName, HRI#GetTable,
#HRI#getTableName, HTD#remove (the rest were marked as deprecated).
Drat, for the methods that return a TableName, getTableName would have been an
ideal name. :) getTable seems ok. is getHTableName or getTablename better or
too subtle?
With tablename as byte[] being returned and as args javadoc should say
something about what names space is being used - is it "interpreted" or is it
default? If there is old code as presented a table name that had a ':' in it,
in the past it would be rejected -- it should be rejected here in this compat
api as well. (echos of our pow-wow discussion).

> Here is contrib to the API compatibility story. I went over Aleks'
> compatibility report and restored removed or overriden methods and
> constructors, stuff that was in 0.94 non-deprecated and removed in 0.96.
> This patch is not comprehensive because some removals cannot be restored as
> in those that used take Writables (more on this later from Jon).
> The changes included here are mostly restore of methods that took a table
> name as a byte array replaced by a TableName object.
