--------------------------------------
Summary: Range constructors call overridable method
Key: ACCUMULO-1972
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1972
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.4.4
Reporter: Bill Havanki
Priority: Minor
Several {{Range}} constructors call {{Range.beforeStartKey()}}, which is not
final. This is dangerous:
bq. The superclass constructor runs before the subclass constructor, so the
overriding method in the subclass will get invoked before the subclass
constructor has run. If the overriding method depends on any initialization
performed by the subclass constructor, the method will not behave as expected.
??Item 17, Effective Java Vol. 2, Bloch??
If {{beforeStartKey()}} cannot be made final, the code should be refactored to
make the constructors safe.
