stack updated HBASE-2597:
-------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.90.0)
Not going to be in 0.90, so it looks anyways.
> Use "Builder" pattern instead of many-argument constructors
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-2597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2597
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
>
> We've got a lot of objects that have a ton of different constructors with a
> huge number of parameters. Whenever we add a new parameter, existing callers
> break, and it's sometimes difficult to keep track of which booleans/nulls
> correspond to which parameter.
> I'd like to consider moving to the "Builder" pattern in some of these cases.
> See
> http://guava-libraries.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javadoc/com/google/common/collect/MapMaker.html
> for an example of this pattern in action. Another good example is the
> builder API generated by protocol buffers (search for "builder" on
> http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/javatutorial.html )
> I think this pattern makes code more readable and also allows us to more
> easily change around the number of arguments in our constructors.
