Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-7941:
-------------------------------------
My counter-argument is that HBase is a database and users expect a database to
provide types. This is a client-level addition. The system implementation would
stay as it is, an access path for bytes. It does *not* propose the inclusion
of, say, schema-annotated type-enforcement.
Perhaps the description should be updated; I do not intend to call out the
compound rowkey business under discussion on the referenced tickets, but rather
acknowledgement of the specific types. HBASE-7221 provides that acknowledgement
via it's \*Element classes, HBASE-7692 through the \*RowKey classes.
> Provide client API with support for primitive types

> Work is underway to provide a widely acceptable serialization format for
> primitive and complex types (HBASE-7221, HBASE-7692). With this completed,
> those serialization conveniences should be pushed up to users of the Client
> API by way of additional method signatures on Operation implementations (Get,
> Put, Delete, Scan, &c.).
