Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8275:
--------------------------------------
I suppose each time you add a new public method you have to add it to the gold
file too. Same with newly added classes that we want to check this way.
> Tool to test binary compatibility

> Stack and I were discussing of ways to make binary compatibility easier to
> test than doing it completely by hand.
> One idea would be to have a tool that uses reflection to generate code that
> calls all the public methods from a list of classes. You would then compile
> this code against the current version you are on, then try it out with
> different HBase jars without recompiling.
