Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-10934:
-----------------------------------------
bq. If we go the interface way, I think we should document that although the
API would be public, we might add methods freely.
+1 to use interface, and +1 to document that we can add methods at any time.
Interfaces are useful because they are easily proxied.

> Key: HBASE-10934
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10934
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Client
> Reporter: Carter
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.99.0
>
>
> As HBaseAdmin is essentially the administrative API, it would seem to follow
> Java best practices to provide an interface to access it instead of requiring
> applications to use the raw object.
> I am proposing (and would be happy to develop):
> * A new interface, HBaseAdminInterface, that captures the signatures of the
> API (HBaseAdmin will implement this interface)
> * A new method, HConnection.getHBaseAdmin(), that returns an instance of the
> interface
