> Consider the classes HBaseAdmin and HColumnDescriptor.
> HColumnDescriptor is really referring to a "column family" and not a "column" (i.e., family:qualifer).
> Likewise, in HBaseAdmin there is a method called "addColumn" that takes an HColumnDescriptor instance.
> I labeled this a bug in the sense that it produces conceptual confusion because there is a big difference between a column and column-family in HBase and these terms should be used consistently.  The code works, though.
