stack commented on HBASE-18945:
-------------------------------
You have to strike @InterfaceStability.Evolving from CellComparator if you
are making it public.
Can you make the case in the description for this issue? This is a big change.
Pawing back through JIRAs is a pain. I'm afraid I've missed key argument when
just a JIRA number (do I have to read the whole JIRA or just a piece).
Seems like the idea is to purge from CellComparator methods that depend on a
particular Cell implementation? To take these internal, and only expose
'Comparator' functions in CellComparator? Seems good to me.
CellComparatorImpl seems like a mouth full though and perhaps the methods
should be elsewhere than in a CellComparatorImpl? In CellUtil ?
CellComparator looks good though.

> Region/Store interfaces to be exposed to CPs.
