-------------------------------------
Summary: Restore backwards binary compatibility with version 1.6.z
Key: ACCUMULO-3608
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3608
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.7.0
We need to ensure that a check for binary backwards compatibility passes when
comparing 1.6.z to current master, since it is only a minor version bump.

That means new classes, interfaces,methods, enum members, etc are all fine. All
of the things labelled as HIGH severity in the binary compatibility report are
definitely a problem. They're mostly classes and methods that were removed.
The end goal should be a report like the one Corey got for 1.6.1 -> 1.6.2. We
don't need the reciprocal report to be compatible because minor versions need
not be forward compatible.
Problems in the source compatibility report are worth reviewing, but things
that only show up there shouldn't be a blocker.

There are instructions for running the compatibility checker in
test/compat/japi-compliance/README
