[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-9334) Convert KeyValue to Cell in hbase-client module - Filters

["Nicolas Liochon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9334?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13761892#comment-13761892 ] 

Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-9334:
----------------------------------------

I may miss something obvious, but I understand that the goal of this change is to require a recompile but not modification of the client app ("Recompile of client apps likely needed after this change.").

But with this change:

bq. public KeyValue[] raw() { ===> public Cell[] raw() {

A client which was calling 'raw' must now be changed to use 'Cell', no?
Incidentally, it seems not possible to write a client that would work with 2 versions of HBase (i.e. modifying the client, but beeing able to compile the modified client with a previous version of HBase).

I'm having the issue because I port the ycsb benchmark. It depends on raw.  

Lastly, audience parameter for 'cell' is private, but as it appears in a public interface I think it should be public...

> The goal is is to remove KeyValue from the publicly exposed API and require clients to use the cleaner mroe encapsulated Cell API instead.  For filters, this affects #filterKeyValue, #transform, #filterrow, and #getNextKeyHint.
> Since Cell is a base interface for KeyValue, changing these means that 0.94 apps may need a recompile but probably no modifications.
