Deprecate HTable[Interface].getRowOrBefore(...)
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-4296
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4296
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 0.92.0
            Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 0.92.0


HTable's getRowOrBefore(...) internally calls into Store.getRowKeyAtOrBefore. That method was created to allow our scanning of .META. (see HBASE-2600).

Store.getRowKeyAtOrBefore(...) lists a bunch of requirements for this to be performant that a user of HTable will not be aware of.

I propose deprecating this in the public interface in 0.92 and removing it from the public interface in 0.94. If we don't get to HBASE-2600 in 0.94 it will still remain as internal interface for scanning meta.

Comments?
