> Some discussion on IRC about this - HBaseAdmin is a bit of a mess currently, it has a lot of different calls. They tend to fall into these categories:
> - Things that actually affect the data from a user perspective (eg adding/dropping/enable/disable tables, setting up CFs, etc)
> - Things that affect the underlying data storage (eg force split, flush, compact)
> - Cluster status (isMasterRunning, checkHBaseAvailable)
> I'd propose we separate these into different classes. HBaseAdmin would be reserved for "DDL" operations (eg create/alter/drop table). A new class, eg HBaseRegionTools or HBaseStorageAdmin or something, would handle the calls that affect "implementation details" like split/flush/compact. The cluster status stuff should maybe just go in a new HBaseCluster class which would also have getAdmin(), getTable(), etc?
