Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-3514:
---------------------------------------------
Well, I've been using the ServiceLoader for my work on the new API and like it.
It achieves the same function as ACCUMULO-1496, but without the runtime
overhead for discovering implementations. Instead, it relies on classpath files
to link the implementation with the interface, which can be generated at
compile-time. Otherwise, it's essentially the same thing.
I could have done the ServiceLoader implementation under that issue instead of
a new one, but I wanted to have a clean break from the scannotations
implementation, even if it was just notional in my head.

> This is similar to the goals of ACCUMULO-1496, but it should be possible to
> do it more efficiently with an annotation processor and Java's ServiceLoader.
> If successful, this would supersede ACCUMULO-1496.
