Description

Scan#readFields() from 0.92 has been removed.
TableMapReduceUtil has the following package private methods:

  static String convertScanToString(Scan scan) throws IOException {

  static Scan convertStringToScan(String base64) throws IOException {

We should consider exposing them as public methods so that user can interpret Scan objects easily in mapreduce jobs.
