Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-4296:
--------------------------------------
I wonder if we should just rename it to scanMeta or something and force it to
work on .Meta. only.
Then nobody would use it, unless it's used for Meta scanning, and we can then
change the implementation.
> Deprecate HTable[Interface].getRowOrBefore(...)

> 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.
