Sergey Shelukhin updated HBASE-10479:
-------------------------------------

    Description: 
HConnection has too many methods for a public interface, and some of these 
should not be public.
It is used extensively for internal purposes, so we keep adding methods to it 
that may not make sense for public interface.

The idea is to create a separate internal interface inheriting HConnection, 
copy some methods to it and deprecate them on HConnection. New methods for 
internal use would be added to new interface; the deprecated methods would 
eventually be removed from public interface.
