Martin Desruisseaux created SIS-90:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Metadata objects should use EnumSet and CodeListSet when
appropriate
Key: SIS-90
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-90
Project: Spatial Information Systems
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metadata
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.3
{{ModifiableMetadata}} selects the appropriate collection type for a given
element type by invoking the protected {{collectionType(Class)}} method.
Current implementation returns only {{List.class}} or {{Set.class}}.
Consequently {{HashSet}} is used for all {{Enum}} and {{CodeList}} collections.
The {{EnumSet}} and {{CodeListSet}} are more efficient (more compact and
presumed faster) implementations of {{Set}} for enumerations and code lists, so
they should be used. Note that since {{EnumSet}} is mutable, we will need to
clone it before to return such set from a unmodifiable metadata.
We could also move {{collectionType(Class)}} method from {{ModifiableMetadata}}
to {{StandardMetadata}} instead, in order to control the collection type policy
in a single place instead than for each metadata object.
