[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-4677) Remove old single bulkLoadHFile method

["Ming Ma (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4677?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13140725#comment-13140725 ] 

Ming Ma commented on HBASE-4677:
--------------------------------

What is the general recommendation to application developer w.r.t HBase major upgrade?  We have some application built on 0.90.4 that uses LoadIncrementalHFiles on the application machines. In that scenario, the application jar that use HBase 0.90.4 jar won't work with 0.92.0 HBase cluster.

In the long term do we want to get to a point where we have HBase_client.jar and HBase_server.jar? In that scenario, application can continue to use an old version of HBase_client.jar to talk to newer version of HBase_server.jar. The old IPC methods will need to be maintained for that scenario. Or perhaps such kind of compatibility support should be done on a higher leverl like Thift?

Perhaps it isn't a major issue until we have lots of HBase applications running and HBase is used as a service.

> In review for HBASE-4649, there is some debate as whether to remove, deprecate, or leave the HRegionServer.bulkLoadHFile method. https://reviews.apache.org/r/2545/ .   This jira will take care of that for the 0.92 and trunk releases, and allow the same patch to remain for an optional 0.90.x patch.
