Description

In 1.0.0, to use counters I need my hbase-shell commands to looks like this:

get_counter 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo', :DUMMY
incr 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo', 10
get_counter 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo', :DUMMY
incr 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo'
get_counter 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo', :DUMMY
incr 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo', 10
get_counter 'counter_example', 'r1', 'cf1:foo', :DUMMY

the same get_counter commands will fail in current branch-1.0 due to the changes in HBASE-10728.
