Description

Where feasible, the code should be updated to use the HConnection factory method for the admin interface. For instance, the following:

    HBaseAdmin admin = new HBaseAdmin(conf);

would be changed to:

    Admin admin = HConnectionManager.createConnection(conf).getAdmin();

This would also require updates to admin calls that refer to a tablename as byte[] or String.

    admin.enableTable("mytable");

would change to:

    admin.enableTable(TableName.valueOf("mytable"));
