Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-19298:
-------------------------------------

There are plenty of places where our IA.Public API uses or returns non-IA.Public members that folks are advised to treat as a black box. what's special about CellScanner that we should make it public?

> User can create the {{CellScanner}} via IA.Public {{CellUtil}}, hence {{CellScanner}} should be IA.Public. However, the {{CellScanner}} is used in the server code base so making {{CellScanner}} IA.Public may flaw our HBASE in the future. In my opinion, we should introduce the {{ExtendedCellScanner}} to replace the {{CellScanner}} for server code.
