Chia-Ping Tsai commented on HBASE-19298:
----------------------------------------
bq. what's special about CellScanner that we should make it public?
The {{CellScanner}} is nothing special I think. Our doc inspires me to file
this issue.
{code}
If you are relying on a particular interface that is marked Private, you should
open a jira to propose changing the interface to be Public or LimitedPrivate,
or an interface exposed for this purpose.

> CellScanner should be declared as IA.Public

> User can create the {{CellScanner}} via IA.Public {{CellUtil}}, hence
> {{CellScanner}} should be IA.Public. However, the {{CellScanner}} is used in
> the server code base so making {{CellScanner}} IA.Public may flaw our HBASE
> in the future. In my opinion, we should introduce the {{ExtendedCellScanner}}
> to replace the {{CellScanner}} for server code.
