That's my irk with it. The changes we made "hide" things for no other

I'm overhauling it).


There is a purpose.  Whats an alternative solution to the addition of
"public List<LogWriter> getLogWriters()" to the MAC API?


Personally, I wouldn't have really cared if such a method was added to its
API.


Why not?  It needlessly exposes a MAC implementation detail.  Java 7 offers
a much better way to handle this situation and makes the need for these
threads go away. As I said flushing the logs could be offered in the API in
a much nicer way.  Thats one solution.


If it was needless as you claim, why was it added in the first place as a public method?




  If you want to re-write MAC all you have to support is the interface in
minicluster, you are free to throw everything in minicluster.impl away.



No, not with the "interface" explicitly referencing MiniAccumuloC*Impl
internally, I can't. I do not see any way I can throw away the existing
impl given the API wrapper. Am I missing something?


Does MiniAccumuloC*Impl leak from the minicluster package in some way?

I don't understand your question, so I'll restate my concern: the only implementation I can make that leverages MiniAccumuloC* is by extending MiniAccumuloC*Impl.

Talking to John, he did present the possibility that MACI could be made into a common base, the current impl lifted to a new impl that isn't tied to specific details, and then that *should* work.
