-------------------------------------
Summary: Review use of Cloneable
Key: ACCUMULO-2619
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2619
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Priority: Minor
We have a few places that claim cloneable, including in the public API. Go
through and bring them in line with Effective Java.
Note that this means where possible we should favor a copy constructor to using
the clone method, since it is fundamentally broken.
Where we must have it we need to make sure we obey all the rules.
# return the type of the class implementing Cloneable
# do not throw CloneNotSupportedException
# make sure to return the result of super.clone() (unless the class is final)
# any fields that are not safe to share between an object and its clone must be
deep copied after using super.clone().
