Release Note:

Removed HTableDescriptor and HColumnDescritor. Please use TableDescriptor and ColumnFamilyDescriptor instead.

Since the latter classes are immutable, you should use TableDescriptorBuilder and ColumnFamilyDescriptorBuilder to create them.

TableDescriptorBuilder.ModifyableTableDescriptor and ColumnFamilyDescriptorBuilder.ModifyableColumnFamilyDescriptor are all changed from public to private now. It does not break our compatibilty rule as they are marked as IA.Private. But we do expose these two classes in some IA.Public classes, such as HBTU. So if you use these methods, you have to change your code.
