      Description

      Stack and I were discussing of ways to make binary compatibility easier to test than doing it completely by hand.

      One idea would be to have a tool that uses reflection to generate code that calls all the public methods from a list of classes. You would then compile this code against the current version you are on, then try it out with different HBase jars without recompiling.
