Description

This change is disallowed in a patch release:

package org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver
interface Region 

Abstract method closeRegionOperation ( Region.Operation ) has been added to this interface.

Recompilation of a client program may be terminated with the message: a client class C is not abstract and does not override abstract method closeRegionOperation ( Region.Operation ) in Region.

Region is a LimitedPrivate(COPROC) interface.

See https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.versioning

New APIs introduced in a patch version will only be added in a source compatible way [1]: i.e. code that implements public APIs will continue to compile.
