[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2704) Cleanup HColumnDescriptor

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12876896#action_12876896 ] 

Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-2704:
--------------------------------------

This is a fairly disruptive, incompatible change but can be done at the same time as the package change.  We will need to hang on to o.a.h.h.HCD/HTD anyways for client compatibility, so HFD could be put into o.a.h.HFD.

> HColumnDescriptor is very old.  The class comment has stale information that no longer applies (that you cannot modify a column, er family, without deleting it and recreating it).  It is also called HColumnDescriptor rather than HFamilyDescriptor and the related methods all say "column" instead of "family" like those in HBaseAdmin.
