------------------------------------------------
Yes. That is right. But my point was in 2.0 we will still have
Cell.getTypeByte() deprecated. If at all client wants the type we can always
provide some way for them to access the type byte (like converting the cell to
KV and then getting the type).
But in 3.0 there is going to be changes to the APIs with RawCell and people
will be able to migrate to it ?
If this is a concern still, then the simple way is to go with getType (a
readable one) in Cell.
> 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.
