Breaking change to our ReplicationEndpoint and BaseReplicationEndpoint. ReplicationEndpoint implemented Guava 0.12 Service. An abstract subclass, BaseReplicationEndpoint, provided default implementations and facility, among other things, by extending Guava AbstractService class. Both of these HBase classes were marked LimitedPrivate for REPLICATION so these classes were semi-public and made it so Guava 0.12 was part of our API. Having Guava in our API was a mistake. It anchors us and the implementation of the Interface to Guava 0.12. This is untenable given Guava changes and that the Service Interface in particular has had extensive revamp and improvement done. We can't hold to the Guava Interface. It changed. We can't stay on Guava 0.12; implementors and others on our CLASSPATH won't abide being stuck on an old Guava. So this class makes breaking changes. The unhitching of our Interface from Guava could only be done in a breaking manner. It undoes the LimitedPrivate on BaseReplicationEndpoint while keeping it for the RE Interface. It means consumers will have to copy/paste the AbstractService-based BRE into their own codebase also supplying their own Guava; HBase no longer 'supplies' this (our Guava usage has been internalized, relocated). This patch then adds into RE the basic methods RE needs of the old Guava Service rather than return a Service to start/stop only to go back to the RE instance to do actual work. A few method names had to be changed so could make implementations with Guava Service internally and not have RE method names and types clash). Semantics remained the same otherwise. For example startAsync and stopAsync in Guava are start and stop in RE.
Apache HBase [1] is an open-source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented store modeled after Google' Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al.[2] Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Apache Hadoop [3]. To get started using HBase, the full documentation for this release can be found under the doc/ directory that accompanies this README. Using a browser, open the docs/index.html to view the project home page (or browse to [1]). The hbase 'book' at http://hbase.apache.org/book.html has a 'quick start' section and is where you should being your exploration of the hbase project. The latest HBase can be downloaded from an Apache Mirror [4].
