Ted Yu commented on HBASE-8273:
-------------------------------
Thanks J-D for the experiment.
I found something that the proposed trick cannot address too:
{code}
- public void setValue(byte[] key, byte[] value) {
+ public HColumnDescriptor setValue(byte[] key, byte[] value) {
{code}
I tried char[] and Byte[]. Neither of which can bind with byte[].
This is a (compatibility) lesson I will remember.
> HColumnDescriptor setters should return void

> Key: HBASE-8273
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8273
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ted Yu
>
> See discussion on dev@ mailing list, entitled 'Does compatibility between
> versions also mean binary compatibility?'
> Synopsis from that thread:
> HBASE-5357 "Use builder pattern in HColumnDescriptor" changed the
> method signatures by changing "void" to "HColumnDescriptor" so it' not
> the same methods anymore.
> if you invoke setters
> on HColumnDescriptor as you'll get:
> java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
> org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HColumnDescriptor.setMaxVersions(I)V
