[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-11826) Split each tableOrRegionName admin methods into two targetted methods

["Carter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11826?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14110748#comment-14110748 ] 

Carter commented on HBASE-11826:
--------------------------------

First question about this refactor:  _Deprecate the old methods or remove them entirely?_

One the one hand, deprecating them makes it easier for someone to move seamlessly to the new interface.  On the other hand, this might muddy the new interface on day one.  If a user is already putting in the effort to move to the new interface, shouldn't they just clean up these method calls at the same time?

Thoughts?

> Purpose of this is two implement [~enis]'s suggestion to strongly type the methods that take "tableOrRegionName" as an argument.
> For instance:
> {code}
> void compact(final String tableNameOrRegionName)
> void compact(final byte[] tableNameOrRegionName)
> {code}
> becomes
> {code}
> @Deprecated
> void compact(final String tableNameOrRegionName)
> @Deprecated
> void compact(final byte[] tableNameOrRegionName)
> void compact(TableName table)
> void compactRegion(final byte[] regionName)
> {code}
