Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.ByteBufferUtils This class will become IA.Private in HBase 3.0. Downstream folks shouldn't use it.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FastLongHistogram

Deprecated Fields

Field and Description
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants.HBASE_REGIONSERVER_LEASE_PERIOD_KEY This config option is deprecated. Will be removed at later releases after 0.96.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants.HBASE_RPC_TIMEOUT_KEY Use HConstants.HBASE_RPC_READ_TIMEOUT_KEY or HConstants.HBASE_RPC_WRITE_TIMEOUT_KEY instead.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants.META_TABLE_NAME For upgrades of 0.94 to 0.96
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants.OLDEST_TIMESTAMP Should not be public since hbase-1.3.0. For internal use only. Move internal to Scanners flagged as special timestamp value never to be returned as timestamp on a Cell.

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.RawBytesComparator.compareFlatKey(byte[], int, int, byte[], int, int) Since 0.99.2.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ProcedureInfo.convert(ProcedureProtos.Procedure)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ProcedureInfo.convertToProcedureProto(ProcedureInfo)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.createFirstOnRow(byte[]) Since 0.99.2. Use KeyValueUtil.createFirstOnRow(byte []) instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.createFirstOnRow(byte[], byte[], byte[]) Since 0.99.2. Use KeyValueUtil.createFirstOnRow(byte[], byte[], byte[]) instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.createFirstOnRow(byte[], int, int, byte[], int, int, byte[], int, int) Since 0.99.2. Use KeyValueUtil.createFirstOnRow(byte[], int, int, byte[], int, int, byte[], int, int) instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValueUtil.ensureKeyValue(Cell) without any replacement.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValueUtil.ensureKeyValues(List)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValueUtil.ensureKeyValueTypeForMR(Cell) without any replacement.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.CellUtil.estimatedHeapSizeOfWithoutTags(Cell)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.CellUtil.estimatedSizeOf(Cell) please use estimatedSerializedSizeOf(Cell)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getBuffer() Since 0.98.0. Use Cell Interface instead. Do not presume single backing buffer.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getFamily()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell.getFamily() as of 0.96, use CellUtil.cloneFamily(Cell)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ProcedureInfo.getForeignExceptionMessage()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.net.Address.getHostname() Use Address.getHostName() instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration.getInt(Configuration, String, String, int) it will be removed in 3.0.0. Use Configuration.addDeprecation(String, String) instead.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell.getMvccVersion() as of 1.0, use Cell.getSequenceId() Internal use only. A region-specific sequence ID given to each operation. It always exists for cells in the memstore but is not retained forever. It may survive several flushes, but generally becomes irrelevant after the cell's row is no longer involved in any operations that require strict consistency.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getQualifier()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell.getQualifier() as of 0.96, use CellUtil.cloneQualifier(Cell)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getRow()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell.getRow() as of 0.96, use CellUtil.getRowByte(Cell, int)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName.getRowComparator() The comparator is an internal property of the table. Should not have been exposed here
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.KVComparator.getShortMidpointKey(byte[], byte[]) Since 0.99.2;
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.ImmutableBytesWritable.getSize() since 0.98.5. Use ImmutableBytesWritable.getLength() instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getType()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.getValue()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell.getValue() as of 0.96, use CellUtil.cloneValue(Cell)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.heapSizeWithoutTags()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.iscreate(InputStream) Use KeyValueUtil.createKeyValueFromInputStream(InputStream, boolean)
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.isDelete()
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.Superusers.isSuperUser(String) this method is for backward compatibility, use Superusers.isSuperUser(User) instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.User.obtainAuthTokenForJob(Configuration, Job) Use TokenUtil.obtainAuthTokenForJob(Connection,User,Job) instead.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.User.obtainAuthTokenForJob(JobConf) Use TokenUtil.obtainAuthTokenForJob(Connection,JobConf,User) instead.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.oswrite(KeyValue, OutputStream) use KeyValue.oswrite(KeyValue, OutputStream, boolean) instead
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKConfig.parseZooCfg(Configuration, InputStream) in 0.96 onwards. HBase will no longer rely on zoo.cfg availability.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.readVLong(byte[], int) since 0.98.12. Use Bytes.readAsVLong(byte[],int) instead.
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.encoding.DataBlockEncoder.EncodedSeeker.seekToKeyInBlock(byte[], int, int, boolean)
