             Summary: Avoid Class::newInstance
                 Key: HBASE-20180
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20180
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Mike Drob
            Assignee: Mike Drob


Class::newInstance is deprecated starting in Java 9 - 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6850612 - because it may throw 
undeclared checked exceptions. The suggested replacement is 
{{getDeclaredConstructor().newInstance()}}, which will wrap the checked 
exceptions in InvocationException.

There's even an error-prone warning about it, we should promote that to error 
while we're fixing this.
