Description

This being an interface makes it a bit harder on implementors. It'd be easier with Java8 and default implementations.

We could either

1. add new *columnFamily methods and deprecate the old ones or
2. rename the existing ones without doing a deprecation first.

Implementors would need to change their code in each of those cases. But because we have the BaseMasterObserver and BaseMasterAndRegionObserver it'd make things easier for people using those classes if we go with option 1. So that's my preference.

The plan would be to add these methods in 2.0.0 and remove the old ones in 3.0.0.
