How to use avro with HBase now?

[Andrey Kouznetsov]

Hello HBASE users!

My project is integrating with another projects using Avro. The project started 
using HBase and it would be useful to use some HBase Avro API but according to 
HBASE-6653[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6553] avro gateway 
support has been removed in HBase 0.96.0.
Is it possible to find this gateway anywhere in opensource lands? I was digging 
into github and *.apache.org but didn't found anything useful.
