Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-4507:
------------------------------------
Yea, I don't want to introduce a new API here. Having taught an HBase training
last week, people found our abundance of non-orthogonal APIs rather confusing.
If we add a public API, we have to maintain it forever (look at the mess of
getRowClosestAtOrBefore for example). So I'm -1 on committing a new public API
when we don't have a compelling use case not satisfied by existing APIs...
what's wrong with using a cell?
