Mike Drob created ACCUMULO-2487:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Value implementation provides conflicting statements
Key: ACCUMULO-2487
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2487
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client
Reporter: Mike Drob
Priority: Minor
The javadoc for the no-arg constructor for {{Value}} states that it "Creates a
zero-size sequence." However, the implementation of get will error in this case.
{code}
public byte[] get() {
if (this.value == null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Uninitialized. Null constructor " +
"called w/o accompanying readFields invocation");
}
{code}
Either we need to change the javadoc to be more explicit or change the
behaviour of various accessors in the class. I would consider both solutions to
be breaking of the API contract since we are changing what clients can expect
from us.
