Enis Soztutar updated HBASE-2036:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: hconf.patch

I have put together a patch (not covering src/test yet). HBaseConfiguration constructors are deprecated and create() methods are added. I think it illustrates the goal of the issue. For compatibility, the methods are only deprecated. We can make remove the deprecated methods in the next release.

> HBaseConfiguration extends Configuration but does not add any functionality to it. The only function is hashCode() which really should be refactored into Hadoop Configuration. 
> I think in all the places(especially in the client side)  HBase methods and classes should accept Configuration rather than HBaseConfiguration. The creation of the configuration with the right files (hbase-site and hbase-default) should not be encapsulated in a private method, but in a public static one. 
> The issues has arisen in our nutch+hbase patch for which we include both nutch configuration and hbase configurations. Moreover people may want to include separate project-specific configuration files to their configurations without the need to be dependent on the HBaseConfiguration.
