Hi All,


I started to work on my first issue: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2965 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2965> and I have few 
questions regarding coding conventions:


1. Do you have any convention for configuration paramters names (those 
that comes from the Configuration class)?

2. I saw few places that uses '+' to concat strings. Is that OK or you 
prefer other means (say StringBuilder)?

3. Generally do you prefer to pass between classes the Job class or the 
Configuration class (assuming, of course, that both of them holds the 
needed data)?


Thanks for the answer,

Ophir
