------------------------------------------
Assignee: Karen Smoler Miller
> Reconsider using Optional<String> as the parameter for getRequiredPermissions
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-3723
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3723
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Reporter: Dan Smith
> Assignee: Karen Smoler Miller
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> The new method on function, getRequiredPermissions takes an Optional<String>
> as parameter.
> At point point, we added a parameterized type to the function interface
> (Function<T>). However, if someone tries to implement Function without the
> type (eg implements Function instead of implemments Function<Object>), then
> they get the below compilation error:
> {noformat}
> Error:(85, 41) java: name clash:
> getRequiredPermissions(java.util.Optional<java.lang.String>) in
> org.apache.geode.cache.lucene.internal.distributed.WaitUntilFlushedFunction
> and getRequiredPermissions(java.util.Optional<java.lang.String>) in
> org.apache.geode.cache.execute.Function have the same erasure, yet neither
> overrides the other
> {noformat}
> In addition to this annoyance Optional is generally discouraged as a
> parameter to a method in favor of method overloading. At least my IDE is
> providing a warning to that effect. Maybe having an overloaded method for
> getRequiredPermissions would be better?
