             Summary: Use Orientated Abstractions
                 Key: HBASE-14887
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14887
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Umbrella
          Components: API
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: stack
             Fix For: 2.0.0


This umbrella issue is about adding clean server-side "user orientated" 
internal APIs that are about 'doing things' (as [~benlau] says over in 
HBASE-14439
"New/Improved Filesystem Abstractions") such as creating and deleting tables, 
etc. Initially, we'll retrofit in a ClusterSchema Interface/API that cleans up 
Master internals and abstracts away implementation detail around the 
manipulation of namespace and tables.

This project operates at a level above the undertaking described in HBASE-7806 
"Isolate the FileSystem calls" and related issues, but has the same intent of 
making it so we can the more easily swap in alternate implementations and 
representations; e.g. changing filesystem layout under the covers. It is a 
complement to HBASE-7806 and related lower-level undertakings (look out for the 
gold spike when this top-down vector crosses the bottom-up endeavor).
