-------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove server-extras module
Key: ACCUMULO-2283
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2283
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Assignee: Keith Turner
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.6.0
The server-extras module was created as part of ACCUMULO-210. It's sole purpose
was to place extra tools and utilities that depended on server-code that wasn't
actually needed for any of the server modules, but might be useful for other
purposes (debugging?).
However, I now think that the only code it contains (the metaanalysis package
for debugging walogs) is dead code that isn't used and probably doesn't work.
This code can just be deleted, along with the entire module, as we don't need
an extra artifact for this entirely optional code, and I'd prefer to get rid of
it before 1.6.0 is released. This is safe to do, since nothing in this package
was public API.
If we really want something like this, it'd probably be in our interests to
treat it like a contrib, or related project, outside of Accumulo's build tree
entirely.
