change the dir holds the .proto files under src/main to protobuf.

good

bq.      What'd do you think?  To me, it is fine either way.  However, if we 
are going to replace HRI with the protobuff later on, it may be better to put 
them together.

Hmm.  Moving out these flags changes the current 'model' but in a direction we 
should be headed in.  The split/offline stuff were stuffed into HRI in the 
first place just because this was an easy way to pass these transient states 
around in hbase; they also are less important now in HRI though still depended 
on when we scan meta IIRC.  Its probably better to evolve toward an HRI that is 
immutable once made.  So I'd be down w/ moving them out but its up to you.  It 
might be easier on you achieving parity w/ first commit of pb work if the pb 
classes are like the internals they will be feeding into.

bq.      I though about this.  I added documentation to RegionClient.proto.  
For methods in RegionAdmin, the method names seem to be very clear.  I will 
take a look again and document where confusing/misunderstand could arise.

I'd be fine w/ the doc being sparse but there are a few cases where doc is 
necessary; e.g. the one I cite above.

 If so, under what circumstance would we be able to fill out this response?
bq.  
bq.  Jimmy Xiang wrote:
bq.      I was thinking to set it if the HRegion.flushCache call returned true. 
 It is just informational.

Does that imply a synchronous call?  I thought flushCache just queued the flush 
then returned to the client w/o actually waiting on flush to complete.

bq.  Jimmy Xiang wrote:
bq.      Some call expects a region name, some call expects an encoded region 
name.  With a specifier, we can handle both.
bq.      Encoded region name works only if the region is on-line.  If we can't 
find the region based on the specifier, a region not found exception will be 
thrown.
bq.      
bq.      So we can simplify the request a little bit since we don't have to ask 
for region name, and encoded region name, and check only if one is specified.
bq.      
bq.      I will add a comment for it.

ok

special handling of an attribute.

The current implementation actually does the fetch and in the client checks it 
null or not IIRC?  Or is it all serverside?  So you add this to the Get so you 
don't have to do the exists call?   You can implement it w/ the addition to Get?

bq.      In the multi call, they mix many requests together.  However, they 
don't retrieve the response in order.  They retrieve the response based on the 
region name.
bq.      In this case, I'd like the server to return the region name.  This is 
optional.  In most call, it is not used.

So you are doing this so you have to create less objects?  So you can avoid 
MultiResponse with its regionname to responses?

bq.      That's to support multiple Get requests in one call.  Each Get request 
can have its own region.  If all Gets are for one region, the caller can 
specify the region in the request level.

I see specifying the region name in this GetRequest but not sure about why we'd 
have region in the Get object itself if we are doing it here on the invocation. 
 Seems like the two contend?

On 'Any problem with that?', no.  Just trying to avoid redundancy that makes 
the Interface imprecise and therefore hard to grok.

bq.      This is used as a default region.  If you have multiple Gets on the 
same region, you don't have to specify it every where.

Could we just have it out here as a param on the get and not in the Get object? 
 Will that work (I think I understand why Result needs it internal to cut down 
on objects we need to support multiresponses)

This stuff of tying a mutation to a particular region should be done external 
to the mutations themselves?

bq.      Similar to Gets, I'd like to make the interface flexible. Sounds you 
prefer to have simple interface instead, right?  That means we may have to have 
too many methods.  For java interface, it is ok and preferred to have many 
methods.  But for RPC, I think it is better to have fewer and flexible methods.

'But for RPC, I think it is better to have fewer and flexible methods.'  Fair 
enough.  Would like to make it just flexible enough and no more (smile).  Needs 
documentation too else fellas like me will come in and get wrong impression on 
whats going on.

one version of a column, you sepcify the family, qualifer, timestamp, and set 
oneVersion to true.

bq.      What do you mean a column that has no qualifier? Are you referring to 
Delete.deleteColumns(family, qualifier, timestamp), and qualifer = null?

Yeah.  You can put a value at row, family, null qualifier, ts. You can also 
delete it (might not be a good idea but you can do it).

Having 'default' region doesn't sound right, even if you are trying to be 
flexible.

Yes.  I got into habit of complaining about the region specs. They make sense 
when they are params.  Its regions internal to Get, etc., that causes me 
difficulty.
