stack resolved HBASE-17802.
---------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Hadoop Flags: Reviewed
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
Release Note: Update our semver section to include a note on our allowing
ourselves the right to add methods to an Interface over a minor version as
agreed to up on the dev list: "If a Client implements an HBase Interface, a
recompile MAY be required upgrading to a newer minor version (See release notes
for warning about incompatible changes). All effort will be made to provide a
default implementation so this case should not arise."
Thanks for the reviews [~apurtell] and [~carp84] (Commit included Andrew's
suggestion).
