------------------------------
Summary: Consider restoring Filter class back to an interface
Key: HBASE-11210
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11210
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Ted Yu
In 0.94, Filter class is an interface.
>From Filter.java in 0.96 :
{code}
* Interface for row and column filters directly applied within the
regionserver.
...
* When implementing your own filters, consider inheriting {@link FilterBase}
to help
* you reduce boilerplate.
{code}
We should consider restoring Filter class back to an interface.
This gives users / developers clear suggestion that custom filters should
override FilterBase instead of implementing Filter directly.
Thanks to Anoop who acknowledged this idea during offline discussion.
