             Summary: [compat 1-2] HCD remove and removeConfiguration change return type
                 Key: HBASE-18691
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18691
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: API
            Reporter: stack


Change made in HBASE-18008. Asking [~chia7712] if ok to undo.

Here is complaint from JACC:

{code}
hbase-client-1.2.6.jar, HColumnDescriptor.class
package org.apache.hadoop.hbase
[−] HColumnDescriptor.remove ( byte[ ] key )  :  void  1  
org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HColumnDescriptor.remove:([B)V
Change	Effect
1	Return value type has been changed from void to HColumnDescriptor.	This method has been removed because the return type is part of the method signature.

[−] HColumnDescriptor.removeConfiguration ( String key )  :  void  1  
org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HColumnDescriptor.removeConfiguration:(Ljava/lang/String;)V
Change	Effect
1	Return value type has been changed from void to HColumnDescriptor.	This method has been removed because the return type is part of the method signature.

{code}

Binary breaking but not src breaking. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3589946/retrofitting-void-methods-to-return-its-argument-to-facilitate-fluency-breaking for good discussion. Probably not a prob. but just in case and if not really needed, will purge.
