-------------------------------------------
> Several HConstant members are assignable

> Reporter: Sean Busbey

> Several of the members in HConstants are not marked final.
> Generate up-to-date list with command:
> 0.98+
> {code}
> for line in "`grep -e '^ *public'
> hbase-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HConstants.java | grep -v
> final`"; do echo "${line}" | grep -o -e " [A-Z_][A-Z_]* "; done
> {code}
> 0.94:
> {code}
> for line in "`grep -e '^ *public'
> src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HConstants.java | grep -v final`"; do
> echo "${line}" | grep -o -e " [A-Z_][A-Z_]* "; done
> {code}
> These mutable versions have been in many releases. We correctly don't assign
> to them in our codebase, but there's no way to know if anyone does downstream.
> HConstants is IA.Public and IS.Stable, but I'm fairly certain this behavior
> was unintentional and there isn't a non-broken use for it.
