ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-19112:
------------------------------------------------
I think since we are now having CellBuilder.setType(DataType ) we need some way
to get this DataType from the Cell.
I was thinking that getTypeByte() was already deprecated and we have some
replacements for that but I can see that it just indicates if it is a Put or
Delete.
I think the most simple way is to have a reverese of toKeyValueType() in
ExtendedCellBuilderImpl and return the Datatype (that is already public) using
a new CellUtil API.
If user is actually creating Deletes and its variants using Delete.java then
there is no issue. Only when he wants the Cell to be used directly in
put.add(Cell) and Delete.add(Cell) he needs this type which can always be got
from the new CellUtil API? What ever is the DataType available in CellBuilder
let it continue.
> Suspect methods on Cell to be deprecated

> 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.
