------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce a KeyBuilder classc
Key: ACCUMULO-4376
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4376
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client
Reporter: Josh Elser
Fix For: 1.9.0
In looking at ACCUMULO-4375, I was a little frustrated at how we have 3x
constructors than Key really provides just to support {{byte[]}}, {{Text}}, and
{{CharSequence}} arguments. Additionally, the {{copy}} argument forces the user
to use the most specific (most arguments) constructor if they want to avoid the
copy. This makes constructing a Key from just a row while avoiding a copy very
pedantic.
I think a KeyBuilder (or KeyFactory) class would be a big usability benefit and
reduce the amount of code that clients have to write to most efficiently
construct Keys.
