Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-4427:
---------------------------------------
definitely not public api, at least according to our spec. maybe it's time we
expressly annotate our public facing api so these kinds of changes aren't
surprising for folks who decide to use the non-public pluggable bits?
is there a way we can update the TableBalancer API so that it continues working
for both 1.6 and 1.7 users as of some future release?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client, master

>
> In 1.6, the TabletBalancer APIs used org.apache.accumulo.core.data.KeyExtent.
> In 1.7, this class was deprecated in favor of TabletId. Unfortunately with
> this change, the TabletBalancer API was updated to use
> org.apache.accumulo.core.data.impl.KeyExtent. This causes compile time issues
> with balancers from 1.6.
> I'm not sure if the TabletBalancer is technically part of the public API, but
> given this is a user pluggable space I would expect some degree of stability,
> at least between two versions.
