Text is not subclassable because set(Text) and compareTo(Object) access the
other instance's private members directly

Key: HADOOP-2738
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2738
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: io
Affects Versions: 0.16.0
Reporter: Jim Kellerman
Assignee: Jim Kellerman
Text objects should not access other Text objects private members directly.
Both set(Text) and compareTo(Object) do.
Because these two methods access private members of the other object, Text is
not subclassable. Either these two methods should be modified to use the
accessors that are already available, or Text should be declared as a final
class, because as it exists today it is not subclassable.
