Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the update.  Here's the feature request.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1182

What's the timeline for the API redesign (HBASE-880)?  If possible, it
would be nice for this to be addressed sooner if that feature is still
a long ways away from a release.

Thanks.
-Tom
