+This module has proto files used by core.
+For historical reasons and to signify that the generated classes are using
+the relocated hbase-thirdparty protobuf-java library the generated classes are in
+the org.apache.hadoop.hbase.shaded.protobuf.generated.* package, instead of the old
+org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.generated.* package, which is not used at all by
+Hbase 3 and later versions.
proto files layout:
protobuf/client - client to server messages, client rpc service and protos, used in hbase-client exclusively;
