William Slacum commented on ACCUMULO-3168: ------------------------------------------ Or just {{TreeMap}}, and then anyone whose API takes a {{Map}}, {{SortedMap}}, {{NavigableMap}}, {{MagellanMap}} or {{TreeMap}} can use it. > WholeRowIterator.decode could return NavigableMap instead of SortedMap > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-3168 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3168 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client > Reporter: Mike Drob > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > Fix For: 1.7.0 > > > {{WRI.decode()}} returns a TreeMap declared as a SortedMap. We could give > users access to useful methods on NavigableMap without limiting which > implementation we can use out of the Java collections packages, if we decide > to swap it out at a later date. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
