stack commented on HBASE-19112:
-------------------------------
Lets get this done if we are going to do it.
On the original list of problematic methods:
* What we propose instead of getType? What would user use instead?
* Why not let out timestamp? Because it could be HLC timestamp?
* There is no getTag in Cell. There is getTagsArray and getTagsOffset. We
talking about deprecating these?
* We want to hide sequencid? It is used-client side scanning. We'd just keep
it hidden?
We just made it so a CP can build their own Cell via an exposed
ExtendedCellBuilder.
I have trouble with RawCell AND ExtendedCell. I like RawCell as a type. Can we
rename ExtendedCell as RawCell?I like saying that CPs can't modify a Cell that
HBase has made.

> that we have some methods on Cell which should be deprecated for removal:
> * {{#getType()}}
> * {{#getTimestamp()}}
> * {{#getTag()}}
> * {{#getSequenceId()}}
> Let's make a pass over these (and maybe the rest) to make sure that there
> aren't others which are either implementation details or methods returning
> now-private-marked classes.
