This is a client to access Cloud Bigtable (https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/) via the HBase APIs. There are a handful of modules in this project. The bigtable-hbase-x.x projects are intendned to be the projects which users interact with. The x.x versions in the bigtable-hbase-x.x projects represent the hbase major and minor versions which the project supports. For example, bigtable-hbase-1.0 will integrate with all hbase 1.0.x releases and bigtable-hbase-1.1 will integrate with all hbase 1.1.* releases. The bigtable-protos, bigtable-client-core and bigtable-hbase modules are meant to be used as components of bigtable-hbase-x.x. Those submodules may be usedful outside of the bigtable-hbase-x.x projects, but have not been thoroughly tested in other scenarios.

The pomlint mojo helps enforcing a certain style in Maven projects. This is particular useful in a multi-module project maintained by large teams of developers. Often best practices are ignored when the project becomes busy. This leads to pom structures that are hard to maintain and thus degrade the projects agility. By having a linter enforce the rules upfront many of the simple mistakes can be avoided.
