+1 with doing a large scale formatting. I think it is important that we just pick one style and make sure it is unique across the codebase, more than exactly what it is (though like every developer I have my preferences :)
I generally also like to use the same kind of formatting Drew is recommending. I tend to use HBase's formatting, which is pretty close to what Drew already mentioned. Also, if there is a current standard (or if we create one), it needs to be added to a FAQ (or equivalent) section of the website. -Jesse Yates On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 6:46 PM, Drew Farris <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm wondering if there's consensus on the indentation style for Accumulo? > > In the code and poms, I'm seeing cases where tabs are used, where > spaces are used, where each is used interchangeably, sometimes mixed > in the same file.
