> Key: HBASE-1989
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1989
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.90.1
> Reporter: Doug Meil
> Assignee: Lars Francke
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Attachments: HBASE-1989-v1.patch, HBASE-1989.patch, hbase1989.patch

>
> Consider the classes Admin and HColumnDescriptor.
> HColumnDescriptor is really referring to a "column family" and not a "column"
> (i.e., family:qualifer).
> Likewise, in Admin there is a method called "addColumn" that takes an
> HColumnDescriptor instance.
> I labeled this a bug in the sense that it produces conceptual confusion
> because there is a big difference between a column and column-family in HBase
> and these terms should be used consistently. The code works, though.
