Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12972:
----------------------------------------
That's reasonable. I'd like to avoid carrying legacy around. *Every*
RegionObserver and RegionServerObserver and RegionServerServices method that
references the HRegion type will have to stay and will get a new twin. That's a
lot of cruft. Nobody should be using HRegion methods anyway. Better to make a
clean break?
> Region, a supportable public/evolving subset of HRegion

> {quote}
> Maybe we can have a {{Region}} interface that is to {{HRegion}} is what
> {{Store}} is to {{HStore}}. Store marked with {{@InterfaceAudience.Private}}
> but used in some coprocessor hooks.
> {quote}
> By example, now coprocessors have to reach into HRegion in order to
> participate in row and region locking protocols, this is one area where the
> functionality is legitimate for coprocessors but not for users, so an
> in-between interface make sense.
> In addition we should promote {{Store}}'s interface audience to
> LimitedPrivate(COPROC).
