Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on JENA-1687:
------------------------------------------
Looked at the pull request and did not understand the need for this change. It
looks like there is one case where it could be useful, but perhaps there are
other ways without needing to change this in Jena. This abstraction is also
useful for other developers IMO.
> Precise return types of NodeFactory methods

> I propose to precise the return types of the NodeFactory methods, e.g. to set
> NodeFactory#createURI return type to Node_URI. This makes the developers life
> easier, as there is no longer a need to cast after creating a Node, if one
> need a specific node type. I can not see any disadvantages and it should be
> backward compatible (except of classes that override these methods).
