             Summary: Rename *column methods in MasterObserver to *columnFamily
                 Key: HBASE-13645
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13645
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Lars Francke
            Priority: Minor


This being an interface makes it a bit harder on implementors. It'd be easier with Java8 and default implementations.

We could either

# add new *columnFamily methods and deprecate the old ones or
# rename the existing ones without doing a deprecation first.

Implementors would need to change their code in each of those cases. But because we have the {{BaseMasterObserver}} and {{BaseMasterAndRegionObserver}} it'd make things easier for people using those classes if we go with option 1. So that's my preference.
