Package of classes used instantiating objects written with pre-version 5
versions of HBase.
Under the hbase.rootdir
, a file named hbase.version
holds the version number for the data persisted by HBase. The version number
is upped every time a change is made in HBase on-filesystem formats. Version
0.2.0 of HBase shipped with an on-filesystem version of 5
. This
package holds classes from previous to version 5 used during the migration of
an HBase instance up to version 5. See
How To Migrate
for more on the migration of HBase across versions and for notes on design
of the HBase migration system.
