    Description

      As part of the ongoing interface abstraction work, I'm now investigating TableInputFormatBase, which has two methods that break encapsulation:

      protected HTable getHTable();
      protected void setHTable(HTable table);
      

      While these are protected methods, the base @InterfaceAudience.Public is abstract, meaning that it supports extension by user code.

      I propose deprecating these two methods and replacing them with these four, once the Table interface is merged:

      protected Table getTable();
      protected void setTable(Table table);
      protected RegionLocator getRegionLocator();
      protected void setRegionLocator(RegionLocator regionLocator);
      

      Since users will frequently call setTable and setRegionLocator together, it probably also makes sense to add the following convenience method:

      protected void setTableAndRegionLocator(Table table, RegionLocator regionLocator);
