[jira] Commented: (HBASE-796) Deprecates Text/String methods from HTable and modifies all classes that used Text/String methods so that they use byte[] instead

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-796?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12620021#action_12620021 ] 

Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-796:
--------------------------------------

+1 on deprecating Text, -1 on deprecating String.  IMHO, string convenience functions are important when working with the rest of Java-land. Even with o.a.h.h.u.Bytes, converting from byte[] to String back to byte[] makes client code unnecessarily ugly.
