> HBASE-15875 purges the properly deprecated HTable. The method doBulkLoad(Path
> hfofDir, final HTable table), while it has a deprecated param, the method
> itself did not get a deprecation label; it is a public method in a public
> class marked stable. This issue is about getting consensus that it is ok to
> remove this method used by offline tooling that will break until updated on
> upgrade to 2.0 w/o a proper deprecation cycle (I think it will be ok to do
> this -- the benefit of our being able to remove HTable is worth this minor
> inconvenience). We'll do some ugly patching of this oversight by adding a
> late deprecation and flagging the removal of this offline method as an
> incompatible change in 2.0. We'll add the deprecation in a subissue.
> It is a problem removing
> doBulkLoad(Path hfofDir, final HTable table)
> ... since this is a public/stable Class.
> There is the alternate:
> public void doBulkLoad(Path hfofDir, final Admin admin, Table table,
> RegionLocator regionLocator) throws TableNotFoundException, IOException
> {
> The former calls the latter.
> The latter went in here:
> {code}

> HBASE-12783 Create efficient RegionLocator implementation (Solomon Duskis)
> {code}
> This was added in time for release 1.1.0.
> So, this method has not gone through a full major version of deprecation.
> It will break when someone moves to 2.0. But it is offline method. Not the
> end of the world.
