bq. So I prefer we include the fix here in branch-2.5+, on branch-2.4 we just 
keep the old behavior.

I basically agree with this approach, but can we do this? 

- In branch-2.4, no changes
- In branch-2.5 and branch-2, keep relevant exception in the method signature 
(if it is a checked exception) but change the behavior. Release 2.5.0 will 
include a release note that describes the change. 
- In master, change the behavior and it's also fine to modify the method 
signature. 

And if you opt for this:

bq. Perhaps we can have a follow-on that makes the API more consistent, and 
roll that change out in accordance with our obligations.

Then that would be fine, but

- In branch-2, additive changes only. Keep old method signatures. 
- In master branch and 3.x versions, breaking changes are ok.

> Currently, we use a pre-created EMPTY_RESULT in the ProtoBuf.util to reduce 
> the object creation. But these objects could be shared by multi client 
> threads. The Result#cellScannerIndex related methods could throw confusing 
> exception and make the client job down. Could refine the logic of these 
> methods.
> The precreated objects in ProtoBufUtil.java:
> {code:java}
> private final static Cell[] EMPTY_CELL_ARRAY = new Cell[]{};
> private final static Result EMPTY_RESULT = Result.create(EMPTY_CELL_ARRAY);
> final static Result EMPTY_RESULT_EXISTS_TRUE = Result.create(null, true);
> final static Result EMPTY_RESULT_EXISTS_FALSE = Result.create(null, false);
> private final static Result EMPTY_RESULT_STALE = 
> Result.create(EMPTY_CELL_ARRAY, null, true);
> {code}
> Result#advance 
> {code:java}
> public boolean advance() {
>     if (cells == null) return false;
>     cellScannerIndex++;
>     if (cellScannerIndex < this.cells.length) {
>       return true;
>     } else if (cellScannerIndex == this.cells.length) {
>       return false;
>     }
>     // The index of EMPTY_RESULT could be incremented by multi threads and 
> throw this exception.
>     throw new NoSuchElementException("Cannot advance beyond the last cell");
>   }
> {code}
> Result#current
> {code:java}
> public Cell current() {
>     if (cells == null
>             || cellScannerIndex == INITIAL_CELLSCANNER_INDEX
>             || cellScannerIndex >= cells.length)
>       return null;
>    // Although it is almost impossible,
>    // We can arrive here when the client threads share the common reused 
> EMPTY_RESULT.
>     return this.cells[cellScannerIndex];
>   }
> {code}
> In this case, the client can easily got confusing exceptions even if they use 
> different connections, tables in different threads.
> We should change the if condition cells == null to isEmpty() to avoid the 
> client crashed from these exception.
