ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-19112:
------------------------------------------------
Based on a comment in RB from Anoop.
The current change in the patch is that
Cell will have getType that returns the publicly exposed DataType. It will only
have the puts and deletes types and will not expose the Min/Max types.
But ExtendedCell will have getTypeByte() also along with getType (since
ExtendedCell implements Cell). getTypeByte will return the min/max types also.
So is it ok to have both getTypeByte and getType in ExtendedCell?
IMHO it is fine because for internal usage we need all the fake cell types also
and going forward the server will be working purely with ExtendedCells only.
> 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.
