Jingcheng Du commented on HBASE-12329:
--------------------------------------
Thanks [~busbey] for the review.
bq. Please file as a follow on ticket. If Misty wants to take it up, then she
can. Otherwise someone else can do it.
Sure, will create a follow on jira.
bq. Should we add a third method "setFamily" that behaves like the old add?
If it's added, does it imply such an operation (add or update in one method) is
allowed, and users should be aware of "last one wins" at that time? If so why
do we re-implement addFamily and add modifyFamily? The existing addFamily is
enough. Is it?
> Table create with duplicate column family names quietly succeeds
