Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-19112:
----------------------------------------
Ya seems like that is the best option. We can have the getType() in Cell and
the Enum also moved to Cell. So this will have only the Put and 3 Delete
types. We have the max/min internal types also. As of now it is ok as we have
deprecated getTypeByte() also and the server code uses that for the compare.
There we can get the fake cells. So those Cells what it will return for the
new getType() enum? We dont have enum types for min and max? Also we can not
extend an Enum. Or else it would have been possible by RawCell's override the
getType by returning an extended type.. So may be the Type can be an
Interface? Cell return an interface type which is having only Put and Delete
types. There is an extended Type interface which include the internal types
also. And the RawCell override the getType by returning the Extended Interface
type. (?)

> 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.
