Deprecate HTable[Interface].getRowOrBefore(...)
-----------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4296
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4296
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client
Affects Versions: 0.92.0
Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 0.92.0
HTable's getRowOrBefore(...) internally calls into Store.getRowKeyAtOrBefore.
That method was created to allow our scanning of .META. (see HBASE-2600).
Store.getRowKeyAtOrBefore(...) lists a bunch of requirements for this to be
performant that a user of HTable will not be aware of.
I propose deprecating this in the public interface in 0.92 and removing it from
the public interface in 0.94. If we don't get to HBASE-2600 in 0.94 it will
still remain as internal interface for scanning meta.
