Carter commented on HBASE-11679:
--------------------------------
Works for me. I didn't know how far away the Table interface was from being
added. Once that's in, I can merge down again, and the replace the
_HTableInterface_ deltas in my patch with _Table_ and make that my patch
instead.
> Replace "HTable" with "HTableInterface" where backwards-compatible

> This is a refactor to move more of the code towards using interfaces for
> proper encapsulation of logic.
> The amount of code touched is large, but it should be fairly easy to review.
> It changes variable declarations from HTable to HTableInterface where the
> following holds:
> # The declaration being updated won't break assignment
> # The declaration change does not break the compile (eg trying to access
> non-interface methods)
> The two main situations are to change something like this:
> {code}
> HTable h = new HTable(c, tn);
> {code}
> to
> {code}
> HTableInterface h = new HTable(c, tn);
> {code}
> and this:
> {code}
> public void doSomething(HTable h) { ... }
> {code}
> to this:
> {code}
> public void doSomething(HTableInterface h) { ... }
> {code}
> This gets most of the obvious cases out of the way and prepares for more
> complicated interface refactors in the future. In method signatures, I
> changed parameters, but did _not_ change any public or protected method
> return values, since that would violate criteria #1 above and break
> compatibility.
