James Taylor updated HBASE-19356:
---------------------------------
Description:
When HBase adds new methods to interfaces such as RegionScanner and
Table/HTableInterface during minor releases, this breaks Phoenix because we
have delegators for these interfaces that don't define the new method. We've
worked around this in Phoenix by creating a new branch corresponding to the
HBase minor release. This has become unwieldy as the number of branches
increases. If instead the delegators lived in HBase and Phoenix used them
instead, this issue would go away.
was:
Many of the changes Phoenix needs to make for various branches to support
different versions of HBase are due to new methods being added to interfaces.
Often times Phoenix can use a noop or simply needs to add the new method to
it's delegate implementor. It'd be helpful if HBase provided base
implementations and delegates that Phoenix could use instead. Here are some
that come to mind:
- RegionScanner
- HTableInterface (Table interface now?)
- RegionObserver
There are likely others that [~rajeshbabu], [[email protected]], and [~elserj]
would remember.
