[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-1989) Admin (et al.) not accurate with
Column vs. Column-Family usage
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1989?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14521114#comment-14521114 ]
Lars Francke commented on HBASE-1989:
-------------------------------------
I'd like to work on this again because the naming is still confusing. I'll reopen and attach a patch that'll deprecate the "old" versions in 2.0.0 so they can be removed in 3.0.0.

> Key: HBASE-1989
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1989
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.90.1
> Reporter: Doug Meil
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: hbase1989.patch

>
> Consider the classes Admin and HColumnDescriptor.
> HColumnDescriptor is really referring to a "column family" and not a "column" (i.e., family:qualifer).
> Likewise, in Admin 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.
