Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-4376:
----------------------------------------
[~melrief] if you are thinking of working, consider reading the following
article. I like this approach of using interfaces to define the builder graph
and having a implementation builder class that implements all of the interfaces.

> 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.
