----------------------------------------

+1 for option#1.  We have done similar way in the past.

> 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.
> The plan would be to add these methods in 2.0.0 and remove the old ones in 3.0.0.
