[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7941) Provide client API with support for primitive types

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7941?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13740331#comment-13740331 ] 

Eli Collins commented on HBASE-7941:
------------------------------------

Agree with Lars and Devaraj. IMO HBase should remain type agnostic, I don't think we want to establish relational data types in HBase itself. HBase is a storage system (at least BigTable is) and should provide equal support for multiple type models, not just the data types expected by SQL engines.

> 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.).
