Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12972:
----------------------------------------
A quick update. I have been working on a patch for master. It's become a multi
day effort as where drawing the line on what should be in Region vs HRegion is
a trade off between getting good encapsulation in Region and a bunch of casting
where code wants HRegion internals. I'm working on keeping casts to a minimum.
I should have something today.
> 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).
