Hi,
I see Jody has AbstractDataStore in the crosshairs. The store is
deprecated, so that one
good thing, but I believe it's too late in the release cycle to just delete
it.
Looking at its usage, we still have a few unsupported stores using it, WFS
(old), VPF, aggregating,
edigeo, in case we just delete AbstractDataStore those will have to be
deleted too.
In core we have ArrayDataStore and CollectionDataStore extending it, both
deprecated,
CollectionDataStore does not state how it can be replaced with something
newer and supported
though (I assume some DataUtilities method could come to the rescue?).
There is also the issue with existing stores in the wild that are extending
AbstractDataStore and
that have been just upgraded quietly for a number of years. I know I have a
few store around
connecting to customer internal sources that are still using that class.
Wondering how well we are doing "selling" ContentDataStore migrations?
Like, do we have a migration guide, or a document explaining what
advantanges the ContentDataStore
brings to those that are performing a migration?
To me ContentDataStore is cleaner and I would not start a new
implementation based on AbstractDataStore
(though I never really wrapped my head around the ContentEntry thing),
but overall clean-ness more of an advantage to those maintaining
ContentDataStore itself, and those implementing
a store anew.
Do we have anything that will help justify the migration for those that
mostly care about their implementations,
in terms of showing it in a positive light, as opposed to "geotools devs
changed the api on us, we have to rewrite fully now".
Also, do we want to just wipe it out, or move it an unsupported module for
the next release (more people
will notice if it suddenly does not show up in their classpath, but we're
giving them a last "get out of jail"
free car).
Cheers
Andrea
