bq. It makes it more obvious when someone overrides the class where things are.
Hmm. How about making the class {{final}} instead?
Re: {{DU}} versus {{WindowsDU}}. If you really want to separate the classes, I
don't object, but I don't want the {{WindowsDU}} to be a subclass of the Linux
{{DU}}. That is just weird.
bq. Shutdown is needed. So it's very strange to have a shutdown without a start.
There is a start-- in {{GetSpaceUsedBuilder}}. Having an "init" method that
you have to call after initialization is an anti-pattern. There is no reason
why the user should have to care whether {{GetSpaceUsedBuilder}} contains a
thread or not-- many implementations won't need a thread. The fact that not
all subclasses need threads is a good sign that thread management doesn't
belong in the common interface.
I'm also curious how you feel about the idea of making the interface
{{Closeable}}, as we've done with many other interfaces such as
{{FailoverProxyProvider}}, {{ServicePlugin}}, {{BlockReader}}, {{Peer}},
{{PeerServer}}, {{FsVolumeReference}}, etc. etc.

> If people are concerned about replacing the call to DU. Then an easy first
> step is to make it pluggable. Then it's possible to replace it with something
> while leaving the default alone.
