Done and done.

Yes. This is a perfect opportunity for us to cheat and do a somewhat-incompatible namespace reorganization without saying 2.0.

I kinda don't see the point, since it's redundant with the package name, but if you (as a consumer) feel it'd be best, we can change it back.

Do I hear issue 2755 calling?

No problem. I'm fine on the technical aspects, it's more the "what's the Java way of class and package layout?" questions that I may need some guidance on. I'd like to see use use sub-packages where possible, as well.

Either of you need to feel free to hop in and shuffle stuff around as you see fit. I'm working on the tests right now, and when I get that committed, I plan on making the apache packages just wrap the tigris packages. Then, we can switch individual underlying layers as we're able.
