Chia-Ping Tsai commented on HBASE-20812:
----------------------------------------
Should we add default implementation to the new method in the future? If so,
should we document this rule? BTW, the #getName and #getTableDescriptor can
have default implementation also (use #getDescriptor)
> Add defaults to Table Interface so implementors don't have to

> Lets add default implementaitons -- even if they are just throw
> NotImplementedException -- to our Table Interface now we are up on jdk8.
> Table implementations are how the likes of hbase-indexer modify hbase --via
> a publically supported API -- and I notice that the kafka proxy now goes the
> same route. Typically, these customizations are only interested in one or two
> methods of Table adding in their own implementations but they have to supply
> implementations for all Table methods in their override. Lets help them out
> by adding defaults (I had a patch but lost it...).
