Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-4376:
---------------------------------------
Nothing specific, just looking for proposed changes that may affect the builder
classes. I am of the opinion that we should not deter someone from contributing
a piece of work because it may change in the future. If it makes sense, doesn't
conflict with future plans, and you are willing to do the work, then let's get
it done. I am also of the opinion that we can also introduce API changes slowly
over time instead of an all new API in a major release.
> Introduce a Builders for "data" classes

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4376
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client

> Fix For: 2.0.0

> 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.
