Hi Devs,
How about raising the "max line width" from 80 (to 100 or 120)?
IMO, 80 characters length is too low & it makes the code bit ugly.
Example:
long timstamp = conf.getLong(TIMESTAMP_CONF_KEY,
System.currentTimeMillis());
Above code snippet after formatting, it turned to
long timstamp = conf
.getLong(TIMESTAMP_CONF_KEY, System.currentTimeMillis());
Please respond with your opinion considering the following points.
- Sun Java coding standards drafted in 1999
- Terminals(Monitors) we are using now are very wider and 80 characters is
not a valid limit anymore.
- As per Ted, Google raised this limit
[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5564]
Note: We don't need to reformat entire codebase. My proposal is to apply
these standards to new code getting commited.
